The Ilkley Half Marathon and the NEW 5k are organised by Ilkley Round Table to raise funds for local good causes. Since our inaugural event in 2019 and with a year off in 2020 due to COIVD we have raised between £20,000 and over £50,000 each year from the event which we redirect to several local organisations across Wharfedale.

Our events are for every level of runner. Make it your first ever running race or challenge yourself in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in our fully road closed events.

Please consider a donation to our 2025 charity of choice, LS29 Special Needs Support Group, when you complete your entry form. LS29 is a fantastic group, established to help families of children with additional needs. These families benefit from the support network that LS29 provides. LS29 now has over 140 members, and organise a wide range of outings and activities throughout the year. Their aim is to provide opportunities for the whole family to take part in activities they may not otherwise have the opportunity to take part in, try new challenges, meet friends and develop a support network and of course, have fun. Ilkley Round Table has supported LS29 for a number of years and we hope you will too!
