The Ilkley Moor Fell Race

The Ilkley Moor fell race is Ilkley Harriers' premier event. In 2008, as in 2007, the race is sponsored by Ultimate Outdoors in Skipton.

The race has been staged by Ilkley Harriers every February since 1990 (except in Foot and Mouth year, when it was one of the the first races to be stopped, and one of the first races to be re-scheduled, in November). It is a hard race, many would say a "classic", and fully deserves its Category A status.
