Please use the main Carnforth High School car park which is on the east (motorway side) of the school buildings and not the restricted parking area on the town side next to the Swimming Pool.

The race follows a 5 mile scenic route on the field paths, trails and canal towpath in the countryside to the south of Carnforth ‘Gateway to the Lake District’.

It gets its name from the number of stiles and other field boundaries crossed en route but none of the ‘20 barriers’ should present any unusual hazards or difficulties. Trail or studded shoes advised.
