The Town Centre Races are a summer fixture timed to coincide with the long summer evenings. Come out and enjoy food, drinks, and the excitement of fast riding on a tight circuit. Running from approximately 6pm until 9pm, there are multiple races, starting with youth and working up to the Elite racing level.
Ilkley's Town Centre Races are an important part of British Cycling's National circuit race series, often running days before or after the Otley Races. Because racers can earn valuable national points, the races attract national-level top talent every year.
