Those who made it to the venue enjoyed a challenging race, with fine wins by local hero Graham Pearce and Yorkshire champion Emma Clayton. Over 30 Ilkley Harriers volunteers made the race possible while Pete Bland Sports were the major prize sponsor this year as well as providing race numbers. This race has a real Yorkshire flavour, and as always every finisher received a complimentary packet of Yorkshire Tea from Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate.
