Barbondale on the Barbon – Dent road.
SD656828
Senior course 3.2km/358m climb
The race begins with about 3 yards of flat running and then straight into the climb, which starts off steep and gets steeper.
An out and back course. A relentless straight line of flags up the steep fell, and continues up the climb to the skyline and cairn where runners hang a right and romp along 750m of runnable climbing to the final turn – then the racing begins, reversing the route back. Straight back along the ridge and then try your best to stay upright on the descent, it’s very steep. The scree is optional for all…Often done in the snow.
The route is on steep, rough grassy terrain with scattered rocks and optional scree.
Car parking is tight so please share and park considerately. Please do not block the farm entrance.
