Oughtibridge Chase - setting a personal best, off-road trail running, a proper village gala.

The Oughtibridge Chase. A proper village gala, a true celebration of all things village life with the local 'sports night' taking place on the Wednesday, and the gala the following Saturday.
The Tom Holmes Gala Chase is named in honour of Tom Holmes who founded the Chase after being inspired by the route he and his dog used to walk on a daily basis. Tom was a prominent member of the Village; serving on the committee for the Gala and Sports Night as well as Oughtibridge Brass band.
The Chase commences in Coronation Park, proceeds up Station Lane/Jawbone Hill by road to Wharncliffe Woods, looping through the woods on compacted gravel paths before returning to finish back in the Park. The route is approximately 6km with 180m of ascent. The Junior Chase takes a shorter route through the woods and is just under 3km with 100m of ascent.
The chase takes place whatever the weather!
The next Tom Holmes Gala Chase will be on Wednesday 18th June 2025 (date to be confirmed) at 19.30.
The Tom Holmes Gala Chase is made possible with the help and support of Penistone Footpath Runners & AC.

Thanks for this week's vlog. Such a good variety of races! Always very interesting.

The two pre race running routines looked to be so far apart. Gareth putting in the effort and Naomi taking the chilled relaxed approach both equally successful. Well done to both .
