Northallerton 10K returns in May – here’s how to sign up

The highly anticipated Northallerton 10K will take place on Sunday, May 24, starting at 10am.

The race will see runners, crowds and volunteers come together to raise money for charity, creating an electric atmosphere throughout the town.

The course, previously completed by participants aged 15 to 82, begins on Northallerton High Street before heading out into some of the most stunning country road views in North Yorkshire.

Last year’s event saw MP Rishi Sunak join the 1,500 runners at the start line.

The Northallerton 10K is a significant fundraising opportunity for the Pendragon Community Trust, a Northallerton-based charity providing essential support to individuals with learning disabilities, as well as their families and carers.

Its specialised centre offers a wide range of sensory experiences and therapeutic activities, supporting the well-being and development of both children and adults.

Starting and finishing on Northallerton High Street outside the town hall, the run must be completed within two hours.

Runners will receive their results via text as they cross the line, with full results available on the Racebest website within 15 minutes.

A spokesperson said: “All abilities are welcome, including competitive running clubs. However, the course must be completed within 1hr 45mins, due to roads having to be reopened.”

The High Street will be closed on race day for vehicle access, but there is plenty of parking nearby, including at the rear of Barkers Department Store (Applegarth car park) and near the church.

The road closure will run from the main Post Office to the roundabout outside Grovers shop.
