Tour of Pendle Fell Race
The Tour of Pendle Fell Race takes place on 21 November 2026 at Barley Village Hall. The course is 27 km with 1473 m of climb. This event is an AL Fell Race and is not a long distance walk.
The race is registered and licensed through the Fell Runners Association and is organised in accordance with FRA rules. Experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge is an advantage. Competitors must carry waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an integrated attached hood, a hat, gloves, a map of the route, a compass, a whistle and emergency food. GPS devices are not allowed.
Two time cut offs will be enforced: CP4 will close one hour forty five minutes after the start and CP6 will close two hours forty five minutes after the start. CP6 is the memorial cairn at the wall corner above Ashendean Clough. Anyone arriving at CP4 or CP6 after closure will be directed back to Barley Village Hall and must inform a marshal and hand in their race number. The organiser notes that finishing the full course in around five hours is unlikely to meet the CP6 cut off in typical November conditions.
Entries open 1 July 2026 and close 31 October 2026. Minimum age is 18. Standard entry fee is £16 with entry on the day at £25 if places remain. New race maps will be available from Pete Bland Sports from 1 July. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
