About the Event

Since its inception in 2013, the Ilkley Skyline has evolved into one of Yorkshire's premier fell races. This challenging course spans 22 miles and ascends to an impressive elevation gain of 3,000 feet as it winds through rugged moorland terrain around Ilkley. Participants will navigate eight distinct moors including Beamsley Beacon, Round Hill, Burley Moor, and Rombalds Moors, each offering unique vistas and testing the endurance of even seasoned runners. The race begins and concludes at the Hermit in Burley Woodhead, capturing the essence of fell running with its mix of steep ascents, technical descents, and expansive views across the Yorkshire countryside. On August 14, 2027, runners will once again experience this iconic course that challenges both body and spirit against the backdrop of England's stunning moors.
Participants can expect a race day filled with the camaraderie of fellow competitors as they tackle the demanding terrain. The Ilkley Skyline is not just about reaching the finish line; it’s an immersive journey through some of Yorkshire’s most breathtaking landscapes, making every step worthwhile for those who love to push their limits on challenging trails.
