Earby Hostel is ideally located near to many sights of natural beauty such as the Pendle Way and the Pennine Way. So it is no surprise that there are some very exciting up and coming fell runs/walks in the local area. And Earby Hostel is THE place to stay while participating or observing them!
Montaine Spine Races
The Montane Spine Races are widely regarded amongst the toughest endurance races in the world. The non stop, expedition style of racing will test your physical and mental resilience in the most challenging of conditions. The Winter and Summer Races, often known as Britain’s Most Brutal, take on the iconic Pennine Way in the UK.
- The Montane Summer Spine: 15th – 17th June 2024
- The Montane Winter Spine: 11th – 13th January 2025
The Pennine Way passes very closely to Earby Hostel. Why not use Earby Hostel as a base camp while you train for one of these races? Alternatively, we welcome friends and family to stay while they cheer you on!
Pendle Way in a Day
The Pendle Way In A Day – A Winter Ultra in East Lancashire – is a fully waymarked trail challenge event in the gritty yet beautiful trails and moorlands of the South Pennines in early February, starting and finishing from Barley Village Hall in Barley, Pendle. A full circular of the Pendle Way of approximately 45miles with 6100ft ascent (68.8km, 1848m) and an alternative option of approximately 30miles with 4500ft (46.5km, 1343m) open to both Runners and Walkers.

Earby Hostel volunteered as a re-fuel station for runners in 2024. It was a great way to meet and cheer on participants. In 2025, we would love to host runners too! We have many facilities that specifically cater to runners so you will be right at home and very close to the race.
