About NLFR
We are a running club dedicated to getting out on the hills and making the most of what Yorkshire and the North of England has to offer.
If you would like to get involved you can find details on this site of our training sessions, the races we organise and how to become a club member.
We also send out a regular (usually weekly) email that you can subscribe to here or via the pop-up box below. For anything you can’t find, please get in touch.
Want to run with us?
Group runs are on Tuesday and Thursdays.
There is no obligation to join our club if you just wish to just train with us, or share lifts to races, but if you’re interested in joining us on a group run, please complete an emergency contact form before your first session.
On Sunday 22 June 2025 we are very proud to be hosting an English Fellrunning Championship Race (3rd race of 6) – our own Kettlewell Anniverary fell race. Entries will open nearer the time, to be announced by FRA, and will be via SI Entries. More information about the race can be found here.
Our Races and Challenges
Kettlewell Anniversary
A short but steep fell race that packs a punch. Starting from the heart of Kettlewell, runners face a lung-busting ascent before a fast and furious descent back to the village. A true test of grit and gravity!
Rombalds Romp
A fast and varied fell race across the rugged terrain of Rombalds Moor. Expect technical trails, open moorland, and a thrilling descent to the finish. A perfect challenge for both seasoned fell runners and newcomers alike.
Ilkley Skyline
Conceived by our very own Mike Ayers, taking in the stunning ridgeline above Ilkley. With long climbs, sweeping descents, and panoramic views, making it a favourite among local fell runners.
