Ilkley Half Marathon & 5k 2026 is a single-day running event in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, featuring a 13.1-mile half marathon and a 5-kilometre race on Sunday 12 July 2026. The Half Marathon is scheduled to start at 10:30 and the 5K at 11:00 local time, with both races routed through the Wharfe Valley and surrounding countryside. The course is described by organisers as scenic and challenging, taking in rolling hills and views of the Yorkshire Dales.

The day includes an event village with street food, live music and family-friendly entertainment, and race information confirms water stations and medical support on the Half Marathon course.
