The Thirsk 10 has been run for over 40 years and in the early days it was run from Northallerton to Thirsk. However with the passage of time and the increase in road traffic the route had to be changed. For many years the route went through Sowerby and then out into the country, but some years ago the route had to be changed again because of the problems with closing the roads around town and the resulting traffic congestion.

We now have a fast flat course which lends its self to a fast time and gives all abilities a chance of achieving a PB. It is a wheel chair friendly route and such competitors are started 10 minutes ahead of the main field. In recent years the Club has hosted the North of England 10 mile Championship, Yorkshire Veterans Championships and the North Yorkshire Championships.

A percentage of the takings from the Thirsk 10 goes to local and national charities. In 2026, we were proud to donate £1500 to each to Thirsk Community Works and Herriot Hospice Homecare  £400 was also donated to Topcliffe Scouts for their support on the water stations.

Race route

The 10 mile race starts on Newsham Road, taking in Sandhutton, Busby Stoop and Carlton Miniott before finishing back at the racecourse. Please see the map of course on club website. There are  mile markers around the course.

The route will be measured formally by England Athletics and a new course record will be up for grabs!

Instructions for start

Please do not warm up on the racecourse itself. Please assemble in front of the grandstand 20 mins before the race as directed by race marshals.

You will be walked to the start.

You may wish to wear a disposable bin bag or the like if the weather is cold. These will be collected after the race starts.

Supporters wishing to see the start of the race will need to be well up Newsham Road.

Do’s and Don’ts

Please keep to the left and follow instructions from marshals.

The roads will be open to traffic in some places and headphones MUST NOT be worn.

Bone conductor headphones are allowed in line with UK Athletics guidelines, all other headphones are banned and those using them will be disqualified.

Anyone using headphones will be disqualified and their time will not be included in the results.

You are responsible for your own safety and have a duty of care to other runners.

Dogs are not allowed in either race. Pushchairs are not allowed.

Please do not drop litter around the course.

Water stations At approx. 3 miles and 6 miles and at the finish.
Cut-off time

To ensure we get the right balance between including everyone and managing road safety, there is a cutoff time of 75 minutes at the 5-mile marker.

Any entrants not making the cut-off time may not be allowed to complete the race.

As a guide, this is roughly 2.5 hours total for the 10 miles (this was comfortably achieved by all entrants in 2025).

Finish

On the racecourse. You should be aware that there is a sharp left turn into the racecourse just before the finish.

Water is available beyond the finish.

Please pass through the finish area quickly to make room for others.
