Outdoor Athletics
Junior Ilkley Harriers, established 2003

As part of our Monday, Wednesday and Thursday generic summer coaching programme we are able to offer outdoor track and field athletics at Ghyll Royd School (Mon and Wed) and the Ilkley Grammar School playing fields (Thur). We are able to do Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Hammer, Javelin, Shot, Discus as well as track running (sprinting) and relays. All these activities are outside whatever the weather, so a waterproof coat and a sence of humour are essential!

We also do indoorTrack & Field coaching sessions at Ghyll Royd School during the winter for those athletes who want to compete. This includes Jumping (long, triple and high), throwing (shot and Javelin) and hurdles.

Ilkley Harriers senior section does not compete in Track and Field Athletics, however the juniors do. We competed in the Young Athletes League as a combined team with Bradford Airedale juniors in 2007 and in 2008 &2009 we competed in our own right in the YAL (N2EC) as Ilkley. However in 2010 we decided to withdraw from the YAL and compete in local open events alongside a club Aviva UKA Academy Award Scheme. Hopefully this will get more juniors from 8 to 18 years competing. The 2010 club League has 12 local meets (below) for juniors to compete in with a minimum of 5/6 meets attended in order to gain an award.
