Coaching notes for this course
Flat and fastThe organiser describes the course as flat and fast, starting and finishing on Knavesmire Road near York Racecourse. That makes it a good PB target, so your plan leans on tempo work and steady 10K-pace practice.
Past the city wallsThe route takes in York’s city walls, York Minster and Clifford’s Tower. Run For All publishes an elevation map and route map, so check them before race day.
A summer raceAn early-August race means your final weeks fall in warm weather. Practise running at race-day times and hydrating well, and expect to run slightly slower in the heat.
