What a day. The Haxby 10K returned on Sunday 17th May 2026, and it did not disappoint. A massive 632 runners crossed the finish line, building on the success of our inaugural event back in August 2025 and cementing this as one of the highlights of the local running calendar.

Set in the glorious surroundings of Haxby, the course was flat, fast, and judging by the results, more than a little PB-friendly. Race HQ at Oaken Grove Community Centre buzzed with atmosphere from start to finish, as runners took on the surrounding streets and closed roads to the north of Haxby.

The Haxby 10K is a community event at its core, hosted by Haxby Runners in partnership with Haxby Town Football Club. It is a chance to celebrate everything that makes this town special, while raising money for the local clubs and projects close to our hearts.

The date for the next Haxby 10K is still to be confirmed, but watch this space. We cannot wait to do it all again.
