Tour of Pendle Fell Race
The Tour of Pendle is an AL fell race based at Barley Village Hall in the South/West Pennines, England. The course covers 27 km (about 16.8 miles) with approximately 1,473 m of climb. The event is run under FRA permit with associated UK Athletics insurance and in accordance with FRA rules.
The race requires experience and navigational skills and is not a long distance walk. Competitors must carry specified mandatory kit: waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an integrated attached hood, hat, gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. The use of GPS is not permitted.
A head count is carried out at the gateway 30 m from the village hall; access to the lane beyond is not permitted before the event starts. A one hour 45 minute cut-off applies at CP4. A second cut-off at CP6 may be applied; those unlikely to complete the full course within four hours 45 minutes in typical November conditions may not meet the CP6 cut-off. Anyone who retires at or after a closed checkpoint must return to Barley Village Hall and report to a marshal.
