IMPORTANT NEWS


We propose to hold the Danefield Relay on Wednesday 4th July at 7.15pm. Obviously with Foot and Mouth and the current closure of Otley Chevin the event might have to be cancelled. Keep checking here for the latest news!

The Danefield Relay was established in 1998 as a local inter-club competition. It has become very successful with up to 50 teams competing. The course attracts fell runners, cross country runners and road runners as it utilises existing tracks and paths through a popular woodland/ plantation setting (with distance views over Otley and Wharfedale). It includes some surprising descents and ascents - particularly on the change over! It is very well marshalled, and specators are welcome throughout the course.
