Race You to the Summit is a long established fell race from the Summit Inn near Littleborough, with a Halloween edition taking place each autumn. The senior race covers 4.3 miles with more than 800ft of ascent, alongside a programme of free junior fell races earlier in the morning.
Runners climb from the Summit Inn along tracks and paths towards the White House pub near Blackstone Edge, where they touch the pub wall before turning around and racing back to the finish. The short distance and substantial ascent create a fast but hilly fell running challenge, with the event described by the organiser as a good introduction for runners new to fell racing.
The race is held under Fell Runners Association rules and has been part of the local fell running calendar for decades. Under 8, Under 10, Under 12 and Under 14 runners compete on separate age appropriate junior courses, while Under 16 runners join the adults for the full senior race. Halloween fancy dress is encouraged, with prizes for the best costumes.
