Ilkley Incline Junior Sprint Fell Relay

The Ilkley Incline Junior Sprint Fell Relays were first staged in 2003. Every year the standard of competition has risen, but the main FUN element is most important. While setting up for the 2009 event in the pouring rain and being eaten by midges I didn't think anyone would turn up at all. But I was totally wrong and there was a record number of 19 teams. Thankyou to all the competitors and to all the helpers. The relays are always a little chaotic before the start, but the competition is always good, but importantly we hope everyone enjoyed the evening. Times are generally faster than previous years and amazingley 3 new records were established. The overall winners were the Wharfedale Warriors (Charlie, Logan, Robbie and Charles) who broke the younger boys record by 41 secs. Not to be outdone the team of Tassy, Tara, Harriet and Elizabeth broke the Younger Girls record by 42 secs. And finally the Older Mixed team of Sam, Naomi, Henry and Anna also broke the record by 37 secs. Well done to everyone.
