Gerry McCabe's Hendon Brook Race takes place from Marsden Park in Nelson and forms part of the Pendle and Burnley Grand Prix Series. This long established 13.5 Mile road race has legendary status among local runners, offering a demanding challenge on the roads and lanes above Nelson and Colne.

The route is branded as a Half Marathon but measures around 13.5 Miles, with more than 2,000 feet of climbing across a very hilly course. Runners tackle steep ascents, sharp descents, country lanes, scenic viewpoints and testing sections including the well known climbs around Hendon Brook and the surrounding Lancashire countryside.

The event is held on roads and is professionally organised with marshals, a three hour time limit and a strong post race social atmosphere. Its toughness, history and place within the Pendle and Burnley Grand Prix have made Gerry McCabe's Hendon Brook Race one of the most distinctive road races in Lancashire.
