We only use the results of children from Addingham, All Saints, Ashlands, Askwith, Ben Rhydding, Burley Oaks, Burley & Woodhead, Ghyll Royd, Menston, Moorfield, Sacred Heart and Westville.

There will be 8 individual League competitions and typically we count one less than the number of races completed in the season. However 25/26 season – three races have been cancelled so we are counting all 3 that are happening.
Yr 3 Girls, Yr 3 Boys, Yr 4 Girls, Yr 4 Boys

Ilkley Harriers are providing the engraved plates for the first SIX finishers in the 8 individual League competitions and individual placing certificates will be presented to all athletes who have competed in 3 or more races in the series.

School Team Relay
At the end of the series Ilkley Harriers will organise relay races, followed by the presentation of awards and certificates to individuals. These relays will take place at Nell Bank on Saturday 14th March 2026. Details here.
