Punk Panther Skipton Skedaddle
Now in its fourth year, this trail event sets off from the market town of Skipton and follows routes that include parts of the Dales High Way, River Aire Ultra and Pennine Way. The ultramarathon route passes Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar and uses upland trails across the Dales.
There are three distance options with corresponding climb and international points:
- 13 miles : climb about 1,500 feet, ITRA 1, UTMB Q20K
- 20 miles : climb about 2,200 feet, ITRA 1, UTMB Q20K
- 34 miles : climb about 4,200 feet, ITRA 2, UTMB Q50K
The event has a maximum of 200 entrants and a minimum age of 18. Checkpoints provide water, soft drinks, energy bars and options for vegan and gluten free runners. Support crews are not allowed at official checkpoints and arriving after a checkpoint closes will result in retirement from the race.
Trackers are supplied for ultramarathon entrants; other distances may hire a tracker for a fee. Routes will be taped the week before the race but competitors should carry a hard copy map or route description. A minimum kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may be carried out on course.
Registration takes place at St. Andrew's Church, Newmarket Street, Skipton. Finishers receive a medal and event T-shirt unless they opt out. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
