Overview
Pennine 39 was a 60-kilometre trail race based in Alston, United Kingdom, organised by NAV4 Adventure for an entry fee of £55. Held in July with its sole running in 2018, the event saw 45 runners cross the line.
That turnout placed it right in the middle of its category, leaving the event with a bigger field than 55% of 50k races and smaller than 44% across 2747 peers. The resulting pack size meant participants shared the course without the congestion typical of larger ultra fields.
