The Arla Protein York 10K is a city road race that began in 2009 and has grown into a well-attended 10K in Yorkshire. The route starts and finishes on Knavesmire Road near York Racecourse and passes historic city landmarks including the ancient city walls, Clifford's Tower and the minster. The course is described as flat and fast.
Entry is open to participants aged 15 or over on event day. The event uses chip timing and all finishers receive an exclusive medal and a goody bag. Entrants may pre-order a finisher t-shirt and can choose to have their medal engraved via an optional memento service.

Water stations on course provide 330 ml bottles and recycling bins are available at each station. Pacers carrying flags with target finish times are present on course. Medical provision includes fixed first aid stations near water points, a first aid unit and recovery area close to the start and finish, and roaming first aiders.
