Tour of Pendle Fell Race

Tour of Pendle 

Distance: 27 km / 16.8 miles
Climb: 1473 m / 4833 ft

'The Tour' is an AL Fell Race, it is not a Long Distance Walk. Experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge an advantage. 

The race is registered and licensed through the FRA and is organised in accordance with FRA’s rules and requirements. You must carry: waterproof whole body cover (with taped seams and integrated attached hood), hat, gloves, map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. 

No GPS.

The race will start at 10:15am.

A head count will begin at 10:00am approx. 30m from the Village Hall, 20m from the start. Access to the lane beyond is not permitted before the race starts.

The cut-off at CP4 will be 1hr 50mins after the start. 

A second cut-off at CP6 will be enforced 2hrs 45mins after the start (CP6 is now the memorial cairn at the wall corner above Ashendean Clough). 

If you are unable to complete the full course within 5hrs, in conditions which might reasonably be considered normal for November, you are unlikely to meet the CP6 cut-off.

 Anyone arriving at CP4 or CP6 after it has closed will be directed back to Barley Village Hall where they must inform one of the marshals at the hall of their retirement and give them their race number.

EOD: £25 if there are places still available. 

New race maps are in production and will be available from Pete Bland Sports 01 July.
