EvenSplits York 5K (November 2026)
The Even Splits York 5K is part of a monthly series held from February to November at the University of York Sport Village Cycle Circuit. The event is a road race contested over 5 kilometres, completed as five laps on a flat circuit that is suitable for wheelchairs. Entry is limited to 200 runners.
Two races are organised on the same evening. The Open race is available to all runners. The Super Sprint race is available to male runners with a predicted time of 17 minutes or under and to female runners with a predicted time of 19 minutes or under; runners who qualify for the Super Sprint may choose which race to enter. Races are chip timed and hold an England Athletics licence. Results are sent by text at the finish and kilometre splits are published the following day.
First-time entrants are assigned a race number with an embedded timing chip that can be used at both York and Leeds 5K events; this number is collected from Registration. Previously issued red 5K numbers from 2020 to 2025 may be reused in 2026 if recorded on the entry form. Entrants are entitled to one free number replacement in any 12 month period; further replacements are charged at £4. Entry fees are listed as £10 for affiliated runners and £12 for unaffiliated runners.
Facilities at Race HQ include water, distance markers and toilets. There are no changing facilities, showers or baggage storage. Deferral is allowed once to the next race in the calendar year if requested at least three days before race day. No refunds or transfers are permitted.
