Course and event information
The course is mainly on tarmac with some trail sections, muddy patches and paths. It is described as generally flat with a few undulating sections. The 5k is one lap, the 10k is two laps, and the half marathon includes an initial 1.1 km out-and-back followed by four full laps. The course is dog friendly and allows off-road running buggies, but it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Race numbers use a chip-on-bib timing system and finish-line results are displayed via the event timing provider. Participants receive a medal; there are water and snacks at the finish, cupped water on course, marshals around the route, limited bag storage and toilets at the event hub. Travel notes include free on-site car parking, a recommended race-day route via the A64, and a shuttle bus service linking York Station to the racecourse (return fare listed as £3). Entries close on 14 February 2026 unless the event sells out. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
