Joe G0RLY and Mike G7HEN are looking for operators for the Ilkley Half Marathon on the 13th July 2025. Please let them know if you are available.

From the website

The Ilkley Half Marathon is organised by Ilkley Round Table to raise funds for local good causes. Since our inaugural event in 2019 and with a year off in 2020 due to COIVD we have raised between £20,000 and over £50,000 each year from the event which we redirect to several local organisations across Wharfedale.

Our event is for every level of runner. Make it your first ever half marathon or challenge yourself in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in a fully road closed event.

Please consider a donation to our 2025 charity of choice, LS29 Special Needs Support Group, when you complete your entry form. LS29 is a fantastic group, established to help families of children with additional needs. These families benefit from the support network that LS29 provides. LS29 now has over 140 members, and organise a wide range of outings and activities throughout the year. Their aim is to provide opportunities for the whole family to take part in activities they may not otherwise have the opportunity to take part in, try new challenges, meet friends and develop a support network and of course, have fun. Ilkley Round Table has supported LS29 for a number of years and we hope you will too!

17 Operators Needed

Hello 3 Peaks RAYNETeers,

Now that we’ve had a week to charge the batteries, pack the masts away, dry the tent and wax the boots (that’s all of us, not just me), I’m now taking the opportunity to say thank you.

I really do want to thank every one of you for the help you gave last weekend for the RAYNET radio cover of the 70th Anniversary Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race. Between us we covered a whole variety of different positions and roles, everyone of them contributed in some way to the job done as a whole so we could not have done the good job without each and every one of you – so thank you again.

I left the campsite around noon on the Sunday after the event, by that time the Race Chairman, Race Director and Chief Marshall had all been across to see me and asked that I pass their thanks onto you all too. Below is the email I received at the start of the week from the Race Chair.

The lead marshals debrief meeting is happening via Teams this week and I’m taking part in that so please feel free to pass to me any feedback on the RAYNET cover and the event itself.

Next year’s event is Saturday 25th April 2026 – hope to see you there.
