The Ilkley Incline is an uphill-only race, inaugurated in 2002. The generous prize list has
been supported by The Bicycle Shop, Skipton since 2003, and as well as the usual prizes there are unusually giant marrows for the winners. This friendly race attracts fell runners and road runners alike. In 2012 the prize fund was again generously supported by Ilkley Physiotherapy
