This Sunday (3 August), runners of all ages and abilities will hit our streets as the York 10K returns.
The route will explore some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including York Racecourse, the city walls, Clifford’s Tower and York Minster.
We’re delighted to be the media partners for the event. YorkMix Radio will be broadcasting from the start and finish line, so come along and say hello.
The runners will be raising thousands of pounds for charity – more about that below – as well as bringing colour and fun to York’s streets.
As always, the Arla Protein York 10K will require some roads to be closed for the duration of the event.
Here are the details.

Tristan Batley-Kyle, operations director at Run For All said: “The safety of our participants and spectators at our events is always a priority, and as with any major running event, we must put some road closures in place to ensure this.
“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause over the weekend in York and we will work to see that all closures are lifted as soon as possible.”
