Ilkley Half Marathon organisers launch 5K race

Exciting news for runners of all abilities. For the first time ever, the organisers of the Ilkley Half Marathon are introducing a brand new 5K race, giving even more people the chance to be part of this much-loved community event.

Taking place alongside the Ilkley Half Marathon in 2025, the 5K race is perfect for those looking for a shorter challenge—whether you’re a seasoned runner aiming for a quick time or a newcomer taking your first steps into racing.

Open to runners aged 11 and over, the new event will feature the same electric atmosphere, stunning Yorkshire scenery, and fantastic community support that make the Ilkley Half Marathon such a special occasion.
