There are ticks in the area – do check for ticks and remove after your run.

From the south, cross the River Wharfe in Otley and continue north for 7miles – and after a dip with a switchback bridge and a short steep climb the event entry is a sharp left. From west, north and east on the A59 (Harrogate-Skipton) turn south at Blubberhouses (signposted Otley) and after less than a mile the event entry is on the right.
Note that this an awkward turn from either direction – slow down in good time. It is a narrow track with few passing places 800m to the car park. The parking field can be waterlogged in wet winter conditions but is expected to be fine in September.
