Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail

The Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail is an out-and-back trail race from Otley to Pateley Bridge along the Six Dales Trail. The route passes Swinsty, Fewston and Thruscross Reservoirs, offering varied views on the outward and return legs. Courses available range from a half marathon to an ultramarathon.

There are designated checkpoints on each course. Runners must visit the specified checkpoints or risk disqualification or time penalties. Checkpoints provide water, soft drinks and snacks; runners must carry their own cup. Vegan options are available at checkpoint stations.
