The Three Shires Race is a serious undertaking. The race organisers will try to make the race as safe as possible but we cannot be completely responsible for you during this event! You should not enter these fells unless you have the appropriate navigation and mountain craft skills and equipment. If you aren’t sure what that means then please don’t enter as you may be putting yourself at risk.
The race is run under FRA Rules and we will check that the following minimum kit is carried:- MAP, COMPASS, WHISTLE, FULL WET WEATHER COVER, HAT AND GLOVES. Emergency rations are advised.
A kit check will be held.
Food will be provided at the Finish.

Parking
Our valley simply does not have a flat well drained field for parking. The nearest available field is at Tilberthwaite Farm, which sadly means you'll be walking 25 minutes to the Start. The good news is that the route, although off road, is flat and cycle friendly - why not bring a bike? We will provide a tent for your kitbag and a fence to chain up to.
You'll be directed to the car park from the Ambleside - Coniston road: please have £3 ready in cash to pay at the gate.
Please do not attempt to park on the Little Langdale road.
Leave plenty of time to get to Registration and the Start!
