We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the Haxby 10K returns on Sunday 17th May 2026.

Following the success of our inaugural race last year, this fantastic road race is back and better than ever. Set in the glorious surroundings of Haxby, the course is flat and fast — making it an ideal opportunity to chase down a personal best.

Our race HQ is based at Oaken Grove Community Centre, where you will line up and set off through the surrounding streets and closed roads to the north of Haxby. The event is proudly hosted by Haxby Runners in partnership with Haxby Town Football Club.

At its heart, the Haxby 10K is a community event — a chance for us to show off our beloved town and everything that makes it so special. We are not only looking to celebrate the community spirit that runs through both Haxby Town FC and Haxby Runners, but also to raise money for the local clubs and projects that are close to our hearts.

Our UK Athletics licensed 10K route has been specifically designed to be fast and flat, giving every runner a genuine shot at a personal best. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or someone lacing up for the very first time at this distance, this is a route built with you in mind.

Whatever your reason for signing up, we cannot wait to see you run — or run and walk — every last metre of it.
