Black Forest Trial
Junior Ilkley Harriers, established 2003
Ilkley Harriers staged an international selection race on Ilkley Moor on Sunday 13th June 2004.
This was a challenging uphill-only race on road, track, and path.
The first 2 boys and girls were offered selection to the Black Forest Teenager Games in Germany in July.
The race was open to all junior runners aged between 12 and 17.
The race was supported by
UP & RUNNING.

The course will be fully marshalled on the day: these notes are mainly for those who wish to recce the route.
The race starts at the cattle-grid on Wells Road, as indicated on the map.
Run on the road, under marshals' directions, for about 400m gently uphill.
At A, turn sharp left onto a wide stony track to White Wells, climbing more steeply in places.
At the stone building (formerly toilets) stay on the main track in front of the building to point B, where the track turns sharp right between the building and the main White Wells buildings to C, then narrows and becomes steeper initially.
The track is now rougher and muddy in places but mainly wide. Stay on the main track as directed at D. The path climbs to the West end of Rocky Valley E.
The path then climbs very steeply up narrow "stone steps", before easing off again to the cairn F.
Continue straight on (South) on a gentler gradient. After crossing the stream at Gill Head continue along the path to the Finish, where the wooden "duck boards" start.
Similar races in 2005 are the Susa Trials Race on Sunday 5th June and the inagural Junior English Uphill Championships later - see you then.
