Punk Panther is a Yorkshire-based race organiser, predominantly doing ultras. I first signed up for one of their events in 2021 but never made the start line. Luckily, I finally did make it to one of their events, and their 10th birthday and 100th event no less. It starts in Otley, loops over hills and fields to Ilkley and then back along the other side of the Wharfedale Valley.
It was certainly outside of my comfort zone with the trails, running past livestock and navigation. But the trails weren’t too technical and after the first half I got into my stride and was able to focus on the physical discomfort, as well as the beautiful scenery. They had a lovely race HQ at Otley Common, including post-race refreshments. I had a cheese toastie and it was good.
