Ilkley Skyline

The Ilkley Skyline is a challenging 22-mile fell running race based on a route created in 2013 by North Leeds runner Mike Ayers. Hosted by Great Owl Running, the race starts and finishes at the Hermit Inn in Burley Woodhead, Ilkley. The course is a demanding loop that traverses at least eight moors, including Beamsley Beacon, Round Hill, Burley Moor, Ilkley Moor, and Rombalds Moor.

Mostly on fell and field terrain with some short road sections, the route requires navigation skills using a map or GPX file. The race features multiple checkpoints and two aid stations, providing a classic and scenic fell running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
