Punk Panther Welcome Way
This is a trail race that largely follows the Welcome Way, a circular route through moorland, alongside rivers, canals and reservoirs, across farmland and through woodland. The course includes high points such as Otley Chevin and Burley and Baildon moors. Routes are taped or waymarked in most places; the 50 miles route is not taped.
The event offers multiple distances with marked climb and qualification points. Checkpoints are provided on the course and supply water, coke, energy bars and crisps. Drop bags are permitted for the 50 miles course and will be transferred to a checkpoint. All ultramarathon entrants are supplied with a tracker; shorter distance runners may hire a tracker for a fee. GPX files and a route description are published in advance and final details are issued to competitors before the event.
A mandatory kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may take place on course; head torches are required for ultramarathon courses. Minimum age to enter is 18. Entry windows, maximum entrants and closing date are published for the event. The finish provision includes a medal and an event T-shirt unless a competitor opts out, plus hot food and snacks including options suitable for vegan and gluten free diets.
