Vale of York 5m & 10m

The Vale of York 5m & 10m takes place in Rufforth, North Yorkshire. The event features two road race distances held on a flat and traffic-free course. The route consists of a single lap through rural villages located west of York and east of Leeds. The race headquarters and parking are situated at Rufforth Airfield.

Participants can choose from two distances:
