However any training in the area before the 24th April must be restricted to the normal 3 Peaks walking route. Competitors are required to follow the fully marked taped or flagged route throughout. These special arrangements apply only on race day. At other times please keep to recognised paths and rights of way, follow the Country Code, keep dogs under control, use gates and stiles, do not harm farm animals and PLEASE TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME !
As in previous years parts of the race route are negotiated with local farmers and don't follow the normal right-of-way 3 peaks route.
Nothing to stop an unofficial race on another day if the rights-of-way are kept to but we wouldn't want to undo any of the good work done by the 3 peaks committee.
Cheers, Ali
