Ilkley Half Marathon

About this event

The Ilkley Half Marathon takes runners through West Yorkshire's countryside on winding lanes with views across the Yorkshire Dales and rolling valleys. The course offers a proper challenge with its hills, making it well-suited for intermediate runners looking to test themselves on varied terrain. The race is known for its solid organisation, with clear route marking and well-stocked water stations throughout. After crossing the finish line, runners can explore the event village with its food vendors, live music, and relaxed atmosphere. The 5K option provides a shorter distance on the same scenic route for those wanting a taste of the Dales without the full half marathon commitment.
