Race liberation point

Select an official liberation point from our library, or search below.

Official Liberation Points (6 available)

Or search custom location / postcode

Tip: UK postcodes resolve to the exact area. Town names return the town centre, so confirm by tapping the map.

Your loft pin

Search your postcode or address, or tap the map after pressing 'Place loft pin'.

You are using your saved account loft pin.

Postcode results can land near the centre of the postcode area. After choosing a result, tap the map to place the exact loft, then save it as your account pin.

e.g. 52° 39' 40.70" N

Enter latitude in the first box and longitude in the second. For UK, latitude is usually 49–61.5 and longitude is usually -9.5 to 3. Type coordinates however you have them — decimal (53.4808), degrees & minutes (53°43.6258'N or 53d 43.6258 N), or DMS (53°28'51"N). Use d instead of ° if that's easier to type. West longitudes can use a minus sign or W (e.g. -2.2426 or 2°26.8844'W). If your federation gives Long / Lat, swap them — latitude goes first.
