Sue Ryder 5 Mile Race, Sat 26 Nov
Ilkley Harriers 5 mile race to raise funds for the Manorlands Hospice at Oxenhope went very well today, thanks to many willing helpers and despite the slightly miserable weather - thank you to everyone who ran, marshalled, baked cakes, or helped organiser Neil Chapman in any way.
Sue Ryder is the hospice that helped former Harrier Alan Pearson, so this cause was also selected by Nick and Pete after their recent "Challenge" - if you were inspired by their Challenge efforts, and did not have a chance to make a donation at the race, we will bring the collecting tin to Tuesday Club night.Results and photos on the race page.
This was an Ilkley harriers Race League counter.

West Yorkshire XC 3, Shipley, Sun 20 Nov
Diane Haggar reports ... Another great result from the ladies. Being a little weary after the Full Tour i decided not to run. Helen Thurston continued her excellent debut season by moving up to 23rd, and Kate Archer is returning to form with 32nd. Combined with Sally and Emma, Ilkley repeated 4th place again beating Bingley. Well done all.
Jack Wood led the men to a fantastic 6th place. Jack had also had an outstanding run run at Pendle the day before. For a brief moment i had comtemplated "the double" as well, until my other half pointed out that I was more than twice Jack's age!!

Also some fine junior results incl wins from U17 Georgia Malir and U11 Francis Westhead, 36 juniors competing.

Leeds Abbey Dash, Sun 20 Nov
Henry Heavisides reports A good turnout of Ilkley Harriers for this morning's misty Abbey Dash. As usual it was a fast & furious race out to Kirkstall Abbey & back. Jamie Hutchinson was 1st Ilkley runner to finish, followed by Andrew Merrick & Justin Phillips. In the age category results I was 2nd M55 with Nick Pearce 3rd M55 (Nick was a couple of seconds quicker on chip timing, but category placings are based on gun times), Ken Souyave was 4th M60 & Andrew Merrick 6th M50. I'm sure that there will have been lots of PBs, notably Andrew Sheldon was a couple of minutes inside his PB.

Tour of Pendle Fell Race, Sat 19 Nov
Alison Weston reports fabulous results from Ilkley Harriers at the Tour of Pendle, a 16.8 mile race with 4830' climbing. We left the mist in Ilkley behind and enjoyed a clear, mild day for the race (for a change!!) Ten Harriers took part with some very impressive results - particulary Dave Wilby (12th overall) and Di Haggar (9th lady in a strong field).

Rosedale 40 Mile Ultra, Sat 19 Nov
Jez Hellewell reports ... had a stunning morning out in The North Yorkshire Moors for my first ultra. Somehow came 1st in 6 hours 16 minutes. The euphoria is soon to be taken over by tiredness I'm sure.
Harriers Vs Cyclists, Sat 19 Nov
Lee Morley reports ... another running of Bingley's Harriers versus Cyclists, where both runners and cyclists (cross/mountain bike) compete over the same course. Tom Adams was first runner back, which seemed likely at the start the as whole field lost sight of him after the first 100m. Unfortunately for us runners the day suited the cyclists with 10 seconds coming off the course record and 14 cyclists in the top 20 - Toms fine run putting him 3rd overall.
(1 32:09 Ian Taylor, Craven Energy) 3 34:18 Tom Adams 1st runner 21 38:02 Lee Morley 35 40:14 Martin Archer 36 40:19 Ian Rowbotham 40 40:42 Iain Gibbons 138 53:23 Ben Swinton 142 54:07 Graham Breeze 145 54:43 Adam Swinton
Predictor Run, Tue 15 Nov
A record field enjoyed Richard Gray's Predictor Run. Thanks to Richard, and to Steve Fletcher and Eddie Winslow for helping. The best 'Predictor' was Phil Judd, who was within 3s of his predicted time. Full results here.
Lido Relays, Sun 13 Nov
Results here.
Thanks from Peter Shields ...
Not the best of days weather wise but as usual when the call comes Ilkley Harriers raise their game and turn out in style, thank you.
Morgan and Alison got everyone registered; Eric, Sue and Rebecca kept the traffic at bay while we got on the road and all the marshalls and young Weston kept us safe and going in the right direction, not a nice day to be out there so well done; Diane was on hand to mend our wounds which luckily weren't too many; Neil, Michael, Tony and Malcolm got the timing spot on, a difficult task in a relay and Paul got the results out faster than you could eat your sandwiches! The food was excellent and enough to go round for everyone, Christine, Liz and Jane looked after us all really well and presented us with £66.71 for our charity collection.
Then there were the runners, thanks, to Bingley, Otley and the un-attached runners for bringing teams and the Ilkley squads who gave their all, hope you enjoyed it.
Congratulations to all the team class winners, and to Nathaniel Williams and Sally Morley who have set splendid records (beating the
YVAA RR records on the same course in 2009 and 2010, Sally actually beating her own record of 18:48 by some 20 seconds).
We are going to try and develop this event, as the racing calender needs a short road relay that is open to all, hopefully our contributions
today will set that off.
Finally thanks to Neil Chapman for all his help as ever.
Dalby Dash, Sun 13 Nov
Emma Barclay reports ... a 10k Trail Race in Dalby Forest near Pickering. Very well organised and the proceeds go to Help the Heroes. A hilly course but fairly good under foot. I was 2nd lady, 1st LV40 Ð 39:51
Wadsworth Half Trog, Sat 12 Nov
Eric Morley reports ... an excellent clear day for trogging and an altered route due to a pheasant shoot, Sue Morley completed the half trog at Wadsworth, with the run actually being 10 miles and the climb somewhat less than advertised.

Burley Moor run, Sat 12 Nov
Quite a few Harriers in this, with Martin Archer winning for a second year (and 2 minutes faster!). Any more Harriers in these results? (Also spotted former Harrier Jonathan Sage 21st in 56:03). Dick says "a very good race, well run with a friendly atmosphere".

Shepherd's Skyline, Sat 5 Nov
Clare Smith reports there was a good turnout today for this muddy 6.25 mile/1150ft run which included a steep descent off Stoodley Pike for the kamikaze descenders, immediately followed by a stiff climb back up the hill There was lots of slipping and sinking - better entertainment for the spectators than for the participants!
