EvenSplits York 5K (DEC '26)
The EvenSplits York 5K is a monthly chip-timed road race held at the University of York Sport Village cycle circuit. The event takes place on a flat, multi-lap road circuit designed for a 5 kilometre distance and is UKA licensed (Licence #30708). Races are held from February to December with a single race on the night for all entrants.
Timing is electronic and results appear on Power of 10. Finish-line texts are sent to runners as they cross, and kilometre splits are published the next day. Each entrant receives a chocolate bar at the finish. Runners receive a race number with an embedded timing chip on first entry; that chip can be reused at both the York and Leeds 5K events. Previously issued RED 5K race numbers from 2020–24 may be used again in 2026 if recorded on the entry form. Entrants are entitled to one free number replacement in any 12 month period; additional replacements are charged at £4.
Entry is limited to 200 places. Entry fees listed are £10 for affiliated runners and £12 for unaffiliated runners; entry on the day is not available. Facilities at race HQ include water, distance markers and toilets. There are no changing facilities, no showers and no baggage storage. Places may not be deferred to the 2027 season, and entries are non-refundable and non-transferable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
