Absolutely loved this half marathon. It’s the first time I’ve ran the Ilkley Half but my 30th half marathon and was up there with the best of them. The start and finish through Ilkley was unbelievable too with the crowds and atmosphere.

Really hot day which made the course difficult. Lovely scenery around the course. Only negative was no souvenir T-shirt at the end - organisers trying to be more I was told - would have been better using paper cups of water on the course instead of plastic bottles and offering a shirt instead - I wear me souvenir shirts for training runs so it’s not like they fill up recycling bins. That’s the only gripe though. Event field was great with live band and food stalls. Entered for next year straight after.

This was my first half marathon and one to remember with nothing but positives start to finish. Great communications throughout before and during the race. The entertainment, activities and food stall were fantastic nothing was over priced with all ages catered for. The race it’s self was amazing the atmosphere the volunteers and supporter created really helped you though what was a challenging race with the heat. The water stations, supports with water hoses and jelly sweets were great so many people helping out cheering everybody on really made it a memorable occasion.
