It's not until April 20th but just come across this new hilly-ish multiterrain race (what else!) from Hawksworth village, near Guiseley and across the valley from Baildon Moor. Looks a good 'un and would be a mud-fest if run today!

Good spot - although it falls on same day as a very similar race the Meanwood Valley Trail which is a bit of a shame.
Ah, even better spot - love the MVT race but having done it 8 times over the years I might do OtheO instead this year. Like you say it's a shame they clash but hey-ho!Originally Posted by Shiny Beast
Haha yeah that seems a reasonable choice. I think I'll do the MVT, having lived in Leeds for 8 years and never done it, despite doing loads of runs/walks etc up and down that there trail. Also it'll be 3pks the week after so either would be a decent little leg stretcher before easing down in that week.
Thinking about entering this, always good to support local events. Can't help thinking what appears to an intersecting of the route at roughly the 3 and 4 mile point could be a bit dicey though?!

Hmm, would definitely make more sense from a safety viewpoint if that loop around the woods by High Royds is clockwise.
This year's Over the Odda is a week tomorrow (Sat 17th May). I'm up for it again, anyone else?

Very tempted Martin. Is it EOD ?
Link to entry here Jez....the attached pdf entry form at the bottom of the page suggests limited entry on the day if not full: http://bookitzone.com/emma_stoney/dm2FFX
I'm doing it again this year. Cracking local run. It seems that if you enter on-line you get a free day at the Health Club in Guiseley, which was a nice surprise. Not that I'll likely use it, but it's always nice to get something free!
As a thank you for entering and to help with your Odda training, we would like to offer you a day pass to Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing, Guiseley.
Just print off this confirmation email and present it at the club for access to their great newly refurbished facilities, including gym, swimming pool and a huge selection of exercise classes. Please find details of the address and opening hours at the foot of this email.
