Punk Panther Wharfedale Skyline
Punk Panther Wharfedale Skyline is a trail running event that follows routes around the hills near Otley, Ilkley and Guiseley. The course passes notable features including Otley Chevin’s Surprise View, the Cow and Calf Rocks and Lindley Wood Reservoir. Routes are taped, flagged or signed before the race but tape may be moved or removed, so runners should use provided GPX and written route descriptions.
Distances offered:
- Half marathon
- 20 miles
- Ultramarathon
Climb figures are provided for each distance and ITRA points and UTMB qualification status are indicated per distance. The event sets a minimum age of 18 and a maximum field of 200 entrants. Checkpoints provide water, coke, energy bars and crisps with vegan and gluten free options; some locations are timing points that must be passed.
All ultramarathon entrants receive a tracker; runners in the shorter distances can hire a tracker. Trackers display position and estimated times on the event tracking screen. A mandatory kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may be carried out on course; the list includes a waterproof jacket, survival bag, whistle, personal first aid, and a hard copy of the route. Finishers receive a medal and an event T-shirt and food and drink with vegan and gluten free options are available at the finish.
Final competitor instructions and the definitive GPX files are issued to entrants before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
