Tour of Pendle Fell Race
The Tour of Pendle is an AL Fell Race centred on Barley Village Hall in Lancashire, scheduled for 21 November 2026. The course is listed as 27 km (16.8 miles) with 1473 m (4833 ft) of ascent and is registered and licensed through the Fell Runners Association.
The event is explicitly not a long distance walk. Experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge is an advantage. Competitors must carry mandatory kit: waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an attached hood, hat, gloves, a map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. Use of GPS is not permitted. New race maps will be available from Pete Bland Sports from 01 July.
Cut-offs at CP4 and CP6 will be enforced; CP6 is located at the memorial cairn at the wall corner above Ashendean Clough. Anyone arriving at CP4 or CP6 after those controls have closed will be directed back to Barley Village Hall and must inform a marshal of their retirement and hand in their race number. The organisers note that finishing the full course within five hours in normal November conditions is unlikely for those who do not reach CP6 on time.
Entries open on 1 July and close on 31 October, with a minimum age of 18. Standard entry fee is £16 and there is a higher entry on the day if places remain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
