We couldn’t hold the event without our members and sponsors and we would ask you to consider Yorkshire Runner whose support didn’t waver through the last couple of years and last years cancelled race. Yorkshire Runner owner Mike Deegan said;

” Yorkshire Runner was started by myself, Tim Agar and Steve Brooks 6 years ago. Tim was a local lad, well liked and known to all a runner, coach, mentor and friend to many. Sadly, he died suddenly on 3rd August 2019. Its been a challenging 2 years, but we are really pleased to be thriving as a local business with an online presence to enhance our service. We are always happy to support Otley AC events and be part of the local running DNA. We also hope you enjoyed this year’s Otley 10 and look forward to seeing you at many West Yorkshire races over the coming months. Enjoy your running in 2021 and stay safe, Mike Deegan www.yorkshirerunner.com
