Last Wednedsday evening Ilkley Harriers staged the Ilkley Incline - one mile from the bottom of Keighley Road to near Cowper's Cross, with 560feet of climb.

This year there were new men's and women's records, and Ilkley Harriers won the men's and ladies' team prizes again. Thanks to sponsors The Bicycle Shop Skipton, Up and Running Leeds, and The Complete Runner, there were generous prizes.

Most of last year's times were improved upon - the first team was South Craven completing all four legs in 12:27 with Thomas Sessford on the final leg setting a record time of 2:38.
