Kirkby Moor

BM: 6 miles, 1600' climb.
Results: 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003.

Kirkby is a fast local race over rolling moorland: a mixture of heather, sheep tracks and these days the access tracks for the windmills. It’s not that high or steep, and a good race for beginners, but some parts are still quite tough and the moor can be confusing in the November fog.

The start is at Beckside at 11am, and registration is in the village hall from about 9.30. The race will start on the road just outside. Beckside is near Kirkby in Furness on the road towards Ulverston, and the only parking is on the main village road, so please park carefully and be considerate of residents.
