A summer 10k is returning to Easingwold next month after a successful debut last year.

The Easingwold Community 10k, organised by Easingwold Running Club, will take place at 10am on Sunday, July 26, starting and finishing in the town’s historic marketplace.

In between, the course will follow a scenic closed-road route through the surrounding countryside.

Colin Fletcher, race director, said: "We are really looking forward to putting on another super event for participants to enjoy and showcasing all that Easingwold has to offer as a visitor destination.

"We’ve had tremendous support both from the community and businesses for which we are very grateful, it’s going to be another great day."

The inaugural race was praised for its atmosphere, organisation, and picturesque setting, with many runners and visitors spending time in the town afterwards.

This year’s event will include music and commentary from York Mix, as well as post-race entertainment from the Town Band and the band Up the Junction.

Food stalls selling pizza, ice cream, cakes, as well as community stalls, will also be available in the marketplace.

To meet growing demand, organisers have increased the entry limit for this year, with entries still available.
