Fun route and friendly atmosphere! Celia H

Really enjoyed the event, great route and fantastic support staff. The guys at Bank Top Farm checkpoint ladened my kids pockets with treats as they dutifully (grumpily) waited for their parents to swap legs! Would definitely do another event! Thanks all! Ed R

Great event and beautiful course. A must-do for any serious athlete! Thomas C

Really great event. Challenging and fun route in equal measures. Good organisation with many options for navigation. Really friendly atmosphere and organising team. Look forward to entering another soon. Adam K

Otley Chevin has some brutal hills but you are rewarded with great views if you can keep your head up long enough to appreciate them. It is a tough course but I would still recommend it to anyone who wants to get into trail running. Tom S

Very enjoyable event! Lovely Yorkshire skylines, challenging uphill sections, amazing supportive group of people. I had a brilliant time and can't wait for next year's event now! David C

I had a great time at this event, it is my first ultra in the bag and I am glad I chose [it]. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Shout out to Tom who I met on the course, you put in a shift buddy 🀟 Adam O

Cracking event, support team still in high spirits despite the weather. Route was really nice, tough with the elevation but you don’t do an Ultra for the flats do you. Organisation and communication were spot on. Thomas N

Loved every moment of this event! The atmosphere was great! James T

Great event. The staff were really friendly and supportive throughout the aid stations and at the end where I stayed and had a good chat with them afterwards. I'm definitely looking at doing more Great Owl events in the future. Tom G

Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
