ILKLEY HARRIERS Trail Race
The Ilkley Harriers Trail Race made its inaugural appearance on the race calendar in 2008, so it is now in its sixth year. The 6.9 mile out-and-back route takes in 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 when they hit the moorland on the top, for a very fast second half of the race.

Senior Results
Tom Adams continued his blistering form at the Ilkley Trail Race, the 2010 winner ran away from a good quality field to set a new
course record of 39 minutes 31 seconds. This beats the previous best for the race set in 2008 by GB international Steve Vernon.
Tom lead his Ilkley team mates of Jim Ryder, jamie Hutchinson and mark Mon Williams to victory in the team prize.
The ladies race was won by Jo Buckley of Calder Valley, Jo also set a course record of 45 minutes 40 seconds on a fast day for racing.
The ladies team prize was won by Ilkley Harriers Emma Barclay, Diane Haggar and Rebecca Mon-Williams.
272 runners finished the race, many of them from local clubs and despite the poor weather a great atmosphere was maintained at the race.
The race was supported by local running specialist Complete Runner. Prizes were provided by Ilkley Physio, Fairburn Cleaning, Richardson Electrical,
Richard Reeve Design and Facewest.
Assisting in the marshalling and organising of the race were members of All Saints' Church, Ilkley as part of their continuing "Love Ilkley" campaign."
Junior Results
Never mind the rain we all had great fun on the field and in the woods at the 3rd Ilkley Harriers Junior Trail Race.
It is a lot of responsibility running junior races but seeing 70 kids out, enjoying their running, getting muddy, makes it all worthwhile.
It couldn’t happen without the help of marshals so a big thank you to everyone. A special thank you to our junior helpers,
Naomi Elliott, Anna Sinclair, Sam Hopkinson-Cook and Henry Websdale who all took on roles of responsibility.
It’s good to see the next generation so willing to help, ready to take over when we are too old! See you all next year for more fun – Bryan and Rachel Websdale.
