York 10K

Knavesmire Rd, York, UK | Sunday, 2nd August, 2026

It has been described as one of the country’s most beautiful city runs. Since its launch in 2009, the event has also grown into one of Yorkshire’s most popular 10Ks.

The Arla Protein York 10K offers runners the unique opportunity to race through the heart of this wonderful city.

The route starts and finishes in Knavesmire Road, close to York Racecourse. It then takes in some of the city’s most historic landmarks, including the ancient city walls, Clifford’s Tower and the minster.

The atmosphere will be electric from start to finish.

And for runners chasing that elusive PB, the flat and fast course is perfect.
