On Sunday Ilkley Harriers staged the Ilkley Moor Fell Race for the 18th time. There was a great turnout with 283 finishers in this testing A category fell race over five miles with 1260ft of climb.

The winner was Kendal's Joe Symonds in 37.46 and amongst the finishers were 40 Ilkley Harriers with fell captain Graham Pearce third overall leading the men's team to an attack on the team prize (and they were pretty close). Helen Ilsley was third lady leading the Ilkley ladies to the team prize.

The race was sponsored by Ultimate Outdoors, Skipton, who contributed generous prizes for the leading runners. Other prizes were provided by Pete Bland Sports and Arcade Fruits of Ilkley, with all finishers receiving a taster pack of Yorkshire Tea too.

The junior races, now in their fifth year, had a record field of 146, including 50 junior Ilkley Harriers, with five new records set on the challenging courses.

The junior Harriers had their own Junior Harrier competition with Phil Dean Trophies presented to the first boy and girl Harrier in the U-10, U-12, U-14 and U-16 age categories.

On the courses there were some hard fought races - possibly the closest of the day was Jack Cummings being pipped at the post by Calum Carslaw in the U-10 boys. In the U-8s William Tench won outright and Laura King, fifth overall, set a new girls' course record.

Georgie Williams once again regained her U-10 trophy but with Laura Cheesewright just a few seconds behind. In the U-12s Ben Swinton was only six seconds in front of his brother Adam and Anna Tench won her first Harrier title.

In the U-14s Fiona Jordan had a great run for third overall but still second girl in the race. Rosie Hellawell of Keighley and Craven had a storming run to take the girls' course record ahead of her.

Stephen Clarke followed up a brilliant cross-country season with success on the fells, taking the U-14 Harrier title. In the U-16s Jenny Dybeck regained her title and Adam Bennett won the boys' for the first time.
