York Summer League

Haxby Runners takes part in the York Summer League every year — a series of seven 10k races held at venues across the region from the end of April through to July. It's a brilliant way to experience some great local running, race alongside your clubmates, and see a bit of the Yorkshire countryside in the process.

Races are held every other Tuesday from 28th April, starting at 7pm or 7:30pm, at venues including Tadcaster, Pocklington, Easingwold, Knavesmire, Bugthorpe, Wistow and Heslington. The whole series costs just £38 to enter — remarkable value for seven races.

You don't need to make every race. If you run at least four of the first six you'll feature in the final league tables, and anyone who runs even once is eligible for the season finale, a popular handicap race that rounds off the summer in style.

Participation in the league is open to full members of Haxby Runners. You'll need to race in club colours — vest or t-shirt — and be aiming to run 10k in 75 minutes or less. If you're not yet a member but like the sound of this, we'd love to have you along to a club night to see if Haxby Runners is the right fit for you.
