Punk Panthers Six Dales Trail

Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail

The Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail is an out and back trail race along the Six Dales Trail between the market towns of Otley and Pateley Bridge. The route passes Swinsty, Fewston and Thruscross Reservoirs, offering varied views despite the out and back format. Three distance options are offered, with corresponding total climb and ITRA/UTMB recognition.

Registration and race administration are based at The Bridge Church, Cattle Market Street, Otley LS21 1RW. The event has a maximum of 200 entrants and a minimum age of 18. Checkpoints and timing points are placed on course; failure to visit required checkpoints may result in retirement or disqualification. Checkpoints provide water, some soft drinks, snacks and vegan options, but runners must carry their own cup.

All distances are subject to a mandatory kit list that may be checked on course; missing required kit can lead to disqualification. Example required items include a waterproof jacket, survival or bivvy bag, whistle, hat, gloves, personal first aid kit, a hard copy of the map and a mobile phone. Ultramarathon entrants are supplied with a tracker; half marathon and 20 mile entrants can hire a tracker for a fee. Routes will be taped before the event but tape should not be relied on as sole navigation. Finish services include a medal and an event T shirt unless opted out, plus hot food with vegan and gluten free options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
