This year’s event, taking place on June 28th, is extra special as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Ilkley Cycle Race, a milestone that promises to make the evening even more spectacular.
Over the past decade, the Ilkley Cycle Race has grown to become a highlight in the town’s calendar, drawing top bike racers from across the country. This year, Ilkley town centre will transform into a vibrant race track for Round 2 of the National Circuit Race Series. The race is renowned for its high-speed thrills, competitive spirit, and the electrifying atmosphere it brings to our community.
