PBGP Juniors Summer 2020 – RACE 1

Here we go Juniors… Our first race to get the PBGP Junior Summer Series 2020 going is TOWNELEY!!

A huge thank you to Jason Pier for putting the courses together. They are very straightforward and off the normal paths of the Park so something to really get into. All start and finish at the gate near the Changing Rooms.

U7s & U9s – you are doing ONE BLUE LAP of the field. Parents, you should be able to see them at all times from the field. Please ensure any U7s are accompanied all the way round for safety.

U11s & U13s – you are doing ONE RED LAP then ONE BLUE LAP. Make sure you DON’T go over the bridge on the map.

U15s & U17s – you are doing TWO YELLOW LAPS that also takes you into the woods (near the bridge)

Categories are based on age at 31st Dec 2020, a guide is attached to work out from date of birth.

Racing starts MONDAY 27th JULY and ends SUNDAY 2nd AUG.

Once done, email us at info@pbgp.co.uk with:
– your Juniors name and category
– a photo of stopwatch or a link/screenshot of Strava/Garmin or other
– any photos of your Junior running you’d like to share!

Any queries please get in touch with us….. Enjoy!

PBGP Juniors Summer 2020

Whilst its been a difficult past few months for everyone, for our Junior runners I’m sure its been a confusing and even more difficult period for them.

We’ve decided to put together a series of activities for the Juniors over the Summer period; by no means a replacement for the camaraderie and excitement of racing with their peers, we hope it gives the Juniors (and Parents too!) something to do locally and keep the fitness up.

The 2020 Juniors Summer Series will consist of six events: three virtual races on actual courses in a set week and three orienteering courses (or treasure hunts!) to be completed at any time.

The series will be based on trust and try to be as inclusive as possible. Race times can be submitted by email to PBGP with photos of a stopwatch and/or a GPS trace if Juniors have watches and feel free to include photos of them at the locations or post them in here! Results will be compiled and published but there won’t be a full champs or prizes for this year.

If you’re interested, we could make a special 2020 t-shirt available to buy for those who complete all six activities.


RACE 1: TOWNELEY
27th July – 2nd August

RACE 2: TRAWDEN
3rd-9th August

RACE 3: GREENWAY
10th-16th August

ORIENTEERING:- Towneley Park, Burnley- Alkincoats Park, Colne- Letcliffe Park, Barnoldswick

The orienteering courses have been designed by Pendle Forest Orienteers who are working with Pendle School Sports Partnership on the same principle to create a Virtual Orienteering Competition over the Summer. The activity is completed using a downloaded app and works incredibly well visiting points around the park in a set time. There’s course options of Short (usually around 2-3km) or Long (around 4-5km). Details are available on PFO’s website but will also be posted here.

More details of the races will be posted shortly along maps of the orienteering courses, guide to orienteering maps and Maprunf app.

This is not a clear replacement for the usual PBGP Junior Championships but something to keep us ticking over. Please bear in mind Parents/Guardians are responsible at all times as the PBGP or any of the Clubs are not present and do not hold any liability. All the events are designed to take place in open public spaces but as usual please be respectful of other park users and adhere to any Government guidelines regarding social distancing.

So let’s get back running, enjoy a bit of Summer whilst we can and hopefully we can be back to regular racing as soon as possible!

Please share within your groups and lets get as many of the Juniors involved as we can!

COVID-19 & PBGP 2020 Update 2

This Sunday would’ve seen the start of the 35th Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix at the 41st Hameldon Hill Fell Race.

After consultation with all the race organisers sadly we have to announce that this year’s event will not take place.

Following UKA and Government guidelines it is very unlikely that large groups will be allowed to meet for quite some time. We can all take a guess but at this time sadly it is unknown.


Depending on how things develop over the coming months we may be able to organise some type of one-off event so watch this space.

Sorry to bring such sad news but please keep doing the things you enjoy. Hopefully soon we will be allowed to run in small groups and enjoy meeting up with friends.

Until then please keep safe.

COVID-19 & PBGP 2020 Update 1

UKA (our governing body) have instructed that no races must be held before 31st May. Sadly this will impact the first four races.

At this time the plan is to still hold the event. It may be possible to add the races at the end but the longer this situation continues then fixture congestion will be a problem.

Sadly the 2020 event may have to be cancelled if things do not improve. Please help things get back to normal as quickly as possible by following Government guidelines.

Hopefully you can manage a solo run or with immediate family. Please heed the advice and help speed up the recovery process.

Take care of yourselves and your families.

Regards JR
