Punk Panthers Six Dales Trail

Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail

Punk Panther 6 Dales Trail is an out and back trail race that runs from the market town of Otley toward Pateley Bridge along the Six Dales Trail. The route passes Swinsty, Fewston and Thruscross Reservoirs and follows an undulating course where each direction offers different views despite being on the same corridor.

Three distance options are offered, with notable total ascent and recognised trail points and qualifications for international scoring and UTMB qualification categories. Checkpoints provide water, soft drinks and snacks; runners must carry their own cup for drinks. Support crews must avoid official checkpoints.

Practical arrangements include a registration base at The Bridge Church in Otley and a designated car park at the end of Bremner Street off the A659 Pool Road LS21 1JD. The event limits entries to 200 and has a minimum age of 18. Trackers are supplied for ultramarathon entrants; half marathon and 20 mile runners can hire a tracker for a fee. All competitors must carry the mandatory kit list which includes a waterproof jacket, survival bag, whistle, map, sufficient fluids, food and a mobile phone. Random kit checks will be carried out on course. Every finisher receives a medal and an event T shirt unless they opt out; hot food with vegan and gluten free options will be available at the finish.
