Helmsley Easter 10km 2026
The Helmsley Easter 10km takes place on 5 April 2026 in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. The event is organised by Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool and is in its 15th year. The course distance is 10 Kilometres. The route is multi-terrain and undulating, using roads, forestry tracks, footpaths and fields. The 2026 edition has a slightly different finish and a changed prize format; traditional Easter eggs and mugs will not be given, replaced by a more sustainable prize. Proceeds support Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool and Samaritans Northallerton & The Dales.
