Ilkley Trail Race

Ilkley, West Yorkshire   £13.00 - £13.00

6.9 Mile Trail Race

Our race is a superb 6.9 mile trail race with spectacular views over the Wharfe Valley and across to Ilkley Moor. It's an out-and-back route with 810 feet of climbing (FRA category CM), on tracks, through woodland, fields and moors, interspersed with some short road sections. Virtually all of the climb is on the way out, but runners will be reinvigorated by the views over the Wharfe Valley and across to Ilkley Moor. There will be a water station at around 2 miles and also water available at the finish. The start is a 5 minute walk from the Lido to the unadopted section of road at the bottom of Curly Hill, with the finish back at the Lido. A share of the profits from the race will be given to the Revival Centre and Orphanage in Matugga, Uganda, which has been supported since the race started in 2008. As there are some road sections, headphones or similar devices, other than bone conducting headphones (or unless medically prescribed) are not permitted. As the race is being licenced by the FRA, runners should make themselves aware of the FRA kit requirements for this CM category race - we will also update everyone in the days beforehand. Runners must be aged 18 or over. Parking with charges is available at the Lido, but there will be free parking on West Holmes Field which is only 4/5 minutes walk from the Lido. Details will be provided in your welcome email. Online entries close at 6pm on 25th May, but are available on the day.
