Eccles Pike Fell Race 2026

Wednesday 12th August 2026


Event Details

This is one of the oldest fell races in the country with a history going back over 100 years. It is renowned for being short, tough and demanding.

Distance of 3.4 miles (5.5km) with 901 ft (275 m) of climb.

As usual we will be using the Bugsworth War Memorial Club as Race HQ, this is close to the start and finish of the race.  Please be aware that if you park at the Navigation Inn you may be expected to pay for parking, the pub is currently closed and the APNR camera has been removed, but the payment machine is still there. Please do not park at the far end of the car park and block the race route.  There is a large car park available at Tesco only 1km away on the canal.  Other parking will be available on the day, please read the race brief email that will be sent out a few days before the race for details.

Numbers will be picked up on the day.

Start time 7.30pm, this race often sells out which makes it unlikely there will be entries on the day.

Refund Policy

Refunds & Cancellations
Individual refunds will only ever be issued at the Race Organiser’s discretion. For a refund to be considered, full details must be emailed to us for consideration within a reasonable time frame of the event.

We do not refund booking fees that were applied on top of the base Entry fee paid. The fees are Third Party charges and as such we do not receive them as part of the race regisitration transaction.
 
We hold the rights to amend/cancel any aspect of an event at late notice. Cancellation will only ever be a last resort for us, and we will always take direction on event cancellations from government agencies (e.g. the Met Office for weather related incidents) and the National Governing Body concerned, in addition to our assessment of the local conditions.
In the event of any cancellation, if it possible to reschedule the event to a different date in the same calendar year then all entries will be automatically transferred to the new date. Deferrals and transfers will be permitted for the rescheduled event.
 
Where an event cannot be rescheduled, committed contractors will be paid and remaining funds will be offered as partial refunds.
