The Vale of York Half Marathon, the fast, flat, PB-loving half marathon in aid of Sue Ryder will be back for its 10th year in 2024.

And now we've added a flat-as-a-pancake 10K to the event.

Both races start and finish just outside Wistow, and run on scenic closed roads south of York and north of Selby.

For the novice runner the half is still the perfect introduction to a longer distance. For the more seasoned racer it remains a genuine PB opportunity. And for those training for an autumn marathon it fits perfectly into your training schedule.

For everyone the 10K is a perfect opportunity to finish the season with a PB!

When?

09:30 September 2025 TBC

PLEASE NOTE THE 10K START TIME IS SCHEDULED FOR 10:15AM, BUT IS DEPENDENT ON ALL HALF MARATHON RUNNERS HAVING COMPLETED THEIR FIRST 3 MILES.

Where?

Wistow, NR SELBY, NORTH YORKSHIRE

All vehicles are to parked at Race HQ. No vehicles should be parked on the roads leading to Race HQ as they will be on the route and risk blocking the race.
