2023 will be using our new route to miss out some of the curves on the main road, and have more space at the start away from houses. This has been independently measured and certified (see https://www.kenkaiser.co.uk/races-m-s/otley-10-miles/index.html)

The rules of the race are very simple: You MUST stay on the pavement on Pool Road at all times up to Pool and keep within the cordoned area over Pool Bridge. MP3 players with earphones MUST NOT be worn during the race – you will be withdrawn if you do not comply!
