Fell

Living on the edge of Ilkley Moor you have just got to love the fells. A lot of our coaches and helpers are fell runners so we are familiar with the local fell scene.

We encourage participation in local fell races and organise junior races at our own Ilkley Moor fell race. Since 2005 we have presented Phil Dean memorial awards to the first boy and girl Junior Ilkley Harrier finisher in the U11, U13, U15 and U17 age categories and in 2012 we introduced a Junior Fell League.

Unfortunately there are NO junior races at the Ilkley Moor fell race in 2023.

 

Ilkley Harriers Junior Fell League (2023 details)

David and Rachel Holder are in charge of coordinating the league. There are 8 age categories and trophies for U9 (min age 6 with individual medals given to the first three boys and girls), U11, U13, U15 and U17 (boys and girls). As last year the league will focus on a summer series of races from April to end of September and as most of these are very local and attached to a gala show it’s a good day out for the whole family too. League points are awarded at each event and at the end of the series awards will be presented to the first 3 finishers providing a minimum number of races have been run. The number of races to count will be confirmed nearer the time but probably best 8 out of 13 for all age groups.

The 2023 league events are:

1st April Pendle
1st May Coiners
9th May Jack Bloor
29th May Ilkley Trail
4th June Kettlewell
