area and was opened in May 2002.The route is 47 miles in length
with 6300ft of ascent , is fully waymarked with mainly off
road running on paths and tracks , some of them newly created
and resurfaced .The Mary
Towneley Loop takes in some of the
best scenery the South Pennines have to offer , traversing
the hillsides and crossing the valleys between Rossendale
, Burnley , Hebden Bridge , Todmorden and Rochdale and crosses
at least 13 Fell Race routes.
The
Pennine Bridleway Relay race
will consist of 5 legs run in pairs in a clockwise
circuit around the Mary Towneley Loop.Entries
invited from open,Ladies,Vets,mixed, (5 men and 5 ladies with
a man and a lady on each leg) or composite teams.
This event is a good winter get together
for your club,is very similar in format to the popular Calderdale
Way Relay organised by Halifax Harriers although this is 5
legs rather than 6 and the logistics are a bit simpler.
