If you pre enter you get a tee shirt, if you enter on day paying the £15.00, you are not guaranteed a tee shirt. Unclaimed tee shirts will be distributed to entries on the day on a first come first served basis from 10:15am on the day.

Contrary to what my notes said on the results of the 2009 Tour, the cut-off at CP4 will remain at 12:30pm (Race start still 10:30am), allowing 2 hours from the start. This year I am prepared to have an early start for slower runners at 10:00am, cut-off at CP4 will still be 2 hours. I am hoping it packs the slower runners closer together during the latter part of the race and gives the marshals an earlier finish, particularly those on the last check points.
Just a reminder
Get your entries in or pay 15 quid !!
Just wondering where I can find the Routes for the Full and Half Tour Of Pendle Race.
Clayton website has em on mate.
Also I think if you google tour of pendle, there is another route or 2 on there.
I'll take you round next time I'm up anyways. :)
Hi
What's the navigation like for the tour of pendle? well marked path that sort of thing.
Its not too bad, depends how well you can naturally navigate I suppose.Quote:

Put it this way, you can't get really 'lost' on Pendle, thats not to mean its an easy race, far from it ;)
Hi Ukhursty
Thanks, my navigation is not great but I'm looking at doing a course in the Lakes later on next month, so that should help, done a number of fell/trail races but nothing the length of TOP.
Cheers

i think Harveys do a race map for this
They do, pete bland does em for 3 quid, full and half routes on one map.Quote:

Does anyone know for what reason the age restriction is 20? I would have thought if it's run under FRA rules the minimum age would have been 18.
Depends on your definition of lost? When the cloud is down then it is certainly easy to go some where you didn't want to. I always carry a compass up there if weather at all iffy and I know a couple of key bearings even without a map.Quote:

Pete Vale and I both went wrong in the clag last year - I'd like to say he was following me, but I think I was about 2 hours behind him by that point.
Aye Wycoller, I was meaning your never far from civilisation on Pendle incase you do stray off the path a little ;)
Legendary!Quote:

Not that i'd follow anyone from clayton on this one;):wink:
So, who's taking part in the annual suffering and misery that is FTOP, i'm in
Me. First time. I'm told its very flat and runnable. ;)
I'll be there, if my ITB decides to start behaving itself.
OK, I don't mind being the one to ask - what is FTOP? (A woman's place is in the wrong.)
Full Tour of Pendle;)Quote:

Well worth a few minutes of anybody's time. Despite a poor few weeks' training I am really looking forward to this. 1.7 miles and 48 feet of ascent. I have read that right haven't I? :p
Sorry I meant odorous.
Feel the oncomming pain
Already !!!
