I have completed quite a few Punk Panther races and they have always been impeccably run with very clear instructions accurate gpx files for navigation along with an atmosphere of family and friends. Would highly recommend to anyone from someone looking to increase their distance to seasoned Ultra runners. Long may they continue

As always there was plentiful pre-race information and the event was very well organised. So much support from the race organisers and wonderful marshals! A lovely route, with plenty of variation in terrain. A really good introduction to trail running for those looking for a first event. Thank you Punk Panther!

Done this event when the last turn around point was Pateley Bridge so was looking forward to the extended course. It’s a beautiful area with lots of chilled relaxing trails to get your teeth into, the reservoirs a favourite of mine. Managed to see two different deers while going through woods one took off like a shot when it spotted me, while the other one cut across the path ahead of me focussed on something else. Checkpoint 2 came and went…..coffee, egg sandwich and a slice of melon at CP3went down a treat. A slight official detour due to mischievous cows on swarm mode meant it was down, up, down into P/Bridge quick thumbs up to Julian the Medic, then off along the side of river before heading up into the hills for a slight route detour of my own making which was rectified by a suicidal down hill scramble complimented with a mad adrenaline rush that powered me to the turn around point, a nice chat to marshals then back on it. Love how this out a back trips you up more than a few times if you don’t pay attention and let your mind wander. Second soaking of the day going through P/Bridge, first one by the way was….first time through P/Bridge! Up….down….up…hello again CP3(5) Coffee, egg melon, don’t mind if I do! After a pleasant chat with marshals headed out over a nice scenic part of the course enjoying the views and soaking up the atmosphere. By the time I hit the church again(CP2/6) had that I just want to get this over with feeling, so it was top up drinks in/out and back along reservoir path. Halfway round it worked its magic chilled me out and put me in Coo Con Con mode…..Cool Controlled Consistent…. That changed the last 5 mile which was a bit more upbeat shall we say, arrived at finish to be welcomed in by the PP finish team who always make you feel special regardless of if your first or last….Highly recommend this one to people stepping up to this distance!
