Punk Panther Yorkshire Reservoir Dogs
Punk Panther Yorkshire Reservoir Dogs is a trail event on a route devised by the Punk Panther team that passes seven reservoirs and waterside sections near Otley. The route includes Lindley Wood, Swinsty, Fewston and Thruscross reservoirs, then John O’Gaunt, Beaver Dyke and Scargill; Eccup reservoir is included on the longer route. Notable trail sections include Stainburn Forest and Almscliffe Crag.

The event sets a minimum age of 18 and a maximum field of 200 entrants. ITRA and UTMB points are recorded for the distances. All ultramarathon entrants receive a tracker; shorter distance runners can hire a tracker when entering. Checkpoints on course provide water, coke, energy bars and crisps.
A mandatory kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may be carried out on course; failure to carry required kit can lead to disqualification. Routes will be taped, flagged and signed but tape can be moved or removed so competitors should also rely on the supplied GPX and route description.
