Arla Protein York 10K
The Arla Protein 10K takes place in York, with the route starting and finishing on Knavesmire Road near York Racecourse. Since its launch in 2009 the event has grown into a well-established city 10K and has been described as one of the country’s most beautiful city runs. The course passes historic city landmarks, including the city walls, Clifford’s Tower and York Minster. Organisers describe the route as flat and fast and suitable for runners chasing personal bests. Entrants must be 15 years or over on event day. The title sponsor is Arla Protein.
