Tour of Pendle Fell Race : event description
The Tour of Pendle is an AL Fell Race held at Barley Village Hall on 21 November 2026. The course covers 27 km / 16.8 miles with approximately 1473 m / 4833 ft of climb. The race is registered and licensed through the FRA and is organised in accordance with FRA rules.
The event is not a long distance walk; experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge is an advantage. Participants must carry waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an attached hood, a hat, gloves, a map of the route, a compass, a whistle and emergency food. No GPS devices are permitted.
Entries open on 1 July 2026 and close on 31 October 2026. Standard entry fee is £16.00; entry on the day is £25.00 if places remain. Minimum age for entry is 18 years.
Cut-offs are enforced at control points: CP4 will close 1 hour 45 minutes after the start, and CP6 will close 2 hours 45 minutes after the start (CP6 timing to be confirmed). Participants who arrive at CP4 or CP6 after closure will be directed back to Barley Village Hall and must report their retirement to a marshal and return their race number. If the full course cannot be completed within about 5 hours in normal November conditions, meeting the CP6 cut-off is unlikely. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
