Ilkley Trail Race

A new(ish) race for 2008, 6.9 miles through woods, on trails and across moorland...... plus a tiny bit of tarmac :eek: . A steady climb (Cat C) up the other side of the valley from Ilkley moor, a loop on top and a blast back downhill to the finish!

More details here

A good alternative for anyone who isn't doing Helvellyn on the same day!

New records to be set...........

Hope to see a some forumites there? :D

Sounds like a good event. Can't see me doing Helvellyn so I'll probably give this a go.

I've already promised GA I'll be there, so I'll be there!!

A few photos of the course and an entry list are now up on the Ilkley Harriers website. :)

Hi all

Pre entries now closed at around 170, there are entries on the day but only have provision for 250 goody bags.

Registration opens at 9.30 am at Ilkley Rugby club, it is advisable to get there early.

Full prize list dionated by The Complete Runner and some spot prizes as well.

Cake Stall :D proceeds going to the Matugga centre orphanage in Uganda.

Any one planning on coming, there will be boxes at registration for any unwanted, but clean!, race t shirts. These will be sent to the orphans at the centre....there are over 100 orphans who only own 1 set of clothes each. :(

Please come along and enjoy the race and support a good charity.

Great idea giving unwanted race t-shirts away to this very good cause, - I will be bringing a few clean T-shirts on Sunday.

Thanks to all those who ran today, hope you all enjoyed it?

A bit breezy on the moors I think but generally a good day all round.

Thanks to all at Ilkley Harriers, a great little Trail Race. Particularly enjoyed the tail wind bit and the down hill bit!!

Not sure about the I man eco bag though;)
How long before other organisers start asking us to bring our own eco bag with us to put the goodies in?

Full results.....

Well organised affair by Ilkley Harriers, the toughness of the course caught many of us out,didnt help by being buffeted by the wind !

I'm happy with my eco-bag and goodies inside it:D

One thing did p*ss me off though, 3or 4 runners at the first stile trying to get over the fence rather than get in the queue,despite being told by the marshal.

Don't know if they were the eventual race winners.If they were should have disqualified 'em !!:mad:
