The route to and from the fell is via Lockbank Farm. Route choice after the fell gate is completely optional as long as the checkpoints are visited in the correct order. Although essentially grassy and moderate in altitude do not underestimate the Howgills. Inclement and difficult weather conditions can occur even in August. Navigational skills are essential. Competitors must be able to find their own way round the course – in bad weather and poor visibility following the runner in front may not be an option. Kit requirements apply and will be enforced.

Checkpoint3-Stream junction above Black Force GR647997 Runners arriving at Checkpoint 3 later than 12.40hrs will be timed out and asked to retire to the finish – the quickest way back is to reverse the race route to west of Castley Knotts and then follow the fell wall back to Lockbank Farm. ALL retirements, wherever on the course they retire from, must report to the finish on the playing field by the Peoples Hall.
