Pendleton

Sat 29 Aug 2026 at 2:00pm

A short race with a long history, the Pendleton Race begins with a flat-out charge up the village main street, before climbing over fields and very rough pasture to Apronful Hill. A steep drop and steeper climb takes the runners to Alan and Judith’s Cairn on Mearley Moor, from where there is an exhilarating descent to Ashendean Beck and a long run-in back across moor and field to the village. 

Held under UKA rules and registered with the FRA. You will need to bring FRA Mandatory Minimum Kit – a recommendation will be given on the day.
