Arla Protein York 10K
The Arla Protein York 10K is a city-centre road race first held in 2009. The event is presented as a 10 km course that starts and finishes on Knavesmire Road close to York Racecourse and passes notable city landmarks, including the ancient city walls, Clifford's Tower and York Minster.
Entrants must be 15 years or over on event day. The event uses chip timing and offers a finisher’s goody bag and an exclusive medal, with an option to pre-order a finisher t-shirt. Pacers sponsored by Arla Protein are available on course and carry flags showing target finish times.
On-course support includes water stations providing 330 ml bottles and recycling bins at each water station. Medical coverage includes roaming first aiders, fixed first aid stations near water points, and a first aid unit and recovery area close to the start and finish. A designated Baggage Store is provided; participants are asked to use the tear-off strip on their race number to label bags before checking them in.
Race numbers are posted to participants who registered before 22 July; later entrants or international participants can collect numbers during pre-event collection (27–31 July, 10:00–18:00) at York Sport Centre, or from the race office on the Knavesmire on the Saturday and race morning. Event Village facilities include food and drink vendors, charity stands and photo coverage by MarathonPhotos with images available for purchase.
Sustainability measures include recycling bins on course and trainer drop-off stations for unwanted shoes near the Race Office. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
