This was the 30th Anniversary of The 20 Barriers and it was a particularly poignant event as Dave Shinn, the race organiser from the early 2000’s to 2017 had died on 20th June this year. He was remembered at the start - and the finish when each runner was given a bottle of Memorial Ale. We had an excellent turn out with 141 competitors who all finished successfully and despite a somewhat dire forecast of Thuner and heavy rain, it all held off until we had finished clearing up and were safely ensconced in the pub. A big thank you to all the Marshals and other essential helpers, to Rowan Wood Sports Therapy for his spot prizes and to the Lancaster Running Centre for the loan of the Start/Finish arch and of course to all you wonderful competitors without whom it could not have happened. We look forward to seeing you all again next year, Tuesday July 7th July 2026 All profits donated to Kent Estuary Youth Project (KEY Project)
