Wharfedale Skyline is a trail running event based in Otley, with Half Marathon, 20.3 mile and 35.1 mile ultramarathon routes through the surrounding West Yorkshire countryside. The courses explore the hills around Otley, Ilkley and Guiseley, passing landmarks including Otley Chevin and the Cow and Calf Rocks.

Runners face a hilly trail challenge with substantial climbing across all three distances. The routes combine trails, paths and open countryside, with checkpoints and timing points positioned along the longer courses. Navigation forms part of the challenge, with runners required to follow the supplied route information and carry mandatory safety kit.

The three distances provide options from a Half Marathon trail race through to a 35.1 mile ultra, with the longer routes extending deeper into Wharfedale. All courses return to Otley, where finishers receive a medal and event T-shirt along with hot food, drinks and snacks at the finish.
