Overview

The iconic "cow"

Walk to the top of the iconic “cow” at the Cow and Calf Rocks above Ilkley and then jump from it, sliding 270m at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour!

Participants will take in spectacular views of Wharfedale....if they dare open their eyes!

Highlights

  • Birthday activity suggestion

    This event is an ideal activity for those who want to do something special to celebrate a big birthday and to benefit a great charity in the process.

  • Great gift idea

    If you want to gift or buy a place in Zip the Cow with no expectation to raise funds, you can select the £75 option.

  • Zero training

    Unlike a run or cycle ride, it requires zero training (though a degree of bravery is required). In previous events, there have been participants ranging in age from 8 to 80, some of whom had disabilities, so it really is an event for all.
