The 20 Barriers follows a scenic route of just over 5 miles on the field paths, trails and canal

barriers’ should present any unusual hazards or difficulties.Trail or
studded shoes advised.
Now that the Lundsfield track has been closed off to the public the race will find it's way back to Carnforth via Thwaite End Bridge number 127. Link to updated race map
