Tour of Pendle Fell Race
The Tour of Pendle is an AL Fell Race held from Barley Village Hall. The course covers 27 km / 16.8 miles with 1473 m / 4833 ft of climb. The event is registered and licensed with the FRA and organised in accordance with FRA rules.
The race is not a Long Distance Walk. Experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge is an advantage. Mandatory kit includes waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an integrated attached hood, hat, gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. Use of GPS devices is not allowed.
Cut-offs at CP4 and CP6 will be enforced. CP6 is the memorial cairn at the wall corner above Ashendean Clough. Competitors who reach CP4 or CP6 after the cut-off will be directed back to Barley Village Hall and must inform a marshal at the hall of their retirement and give their race number. The organisers note that if a competitor cannot complete the full course within about five hours in conditions reasonably normal for November, they are unlikely to meet the CP6 cut-off.
Minimum age for entry is 18. 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 01 July. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
