Course, logistics and rules

Climb for each distance is listed as 1700, 2500 and 3800 feet respectively. The event carries ITRA points of 1, 1 and 2 and UTMB qualification of Q20K, Q20K and Q50K for the three distances. Provisional GPX files and a route description are available; the final route instructions will be emailed to competitors and must be used. Routes will be taped, but tape may be moved or removed, so it should not be the sole means of navigation.

Registration and the finish are at The Bridge Church, Cattle Market Street, Otley LS21 1RW. All runners must visit the designated checkpoints in order or face disqualification or time penalties; refreshments are available at checkpoints but runners must provide their own cup. All ultramarathon entrants receive a tracker; half marathon and 20 mile runners can hire a tracker for a fee. A mandatory kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may be carried out on course. Dogs are not permitted in the church. Finishers receive a medal and an event T-shirt, and hot food with vegan and gluten free options is available at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
