Road closures in York: Where are the roads closed in the city ahead of York 10K marathon, when will the roads be closed and how long for?

Since the first event in 2009, the race has grown in popularity and it offers runners the unique opportunity to race through the heart of the city, providing beautiful views.

The route will start and finish on Knavesmire Road, near to York Racecourse and will then take in some of the city’s most historic landmarks including the city walls, Clifford’s Tower and the Minster.

Charity Run For All will be collaborating with City of York Council to host the York 10K and an order has been made prohibiting and restricting the use of certain roads and road junctions by vehicles in order to protect the safety of participants and onlookers. Road closures will be enforced from 5pm on Friday, August 4 to 3pm on Sunday, August 6, 2023 and a full list of road closures are provided below.
