The weather was overcast, the tension was rising and the stage was set for the York 10k 2024.
Team spirit was high for our 12 York St John University runners, with most navigating the heavy traffic and road closures to make the team photo and share pre-race nerves. A massive thank you to every runner who has gone above and beyond in both their training and fundraising for our alumni-funded scholarships. Personal bests were smashed and the 10km distance was reached for the first time for some of our runners. We are incredibly proud to be able to play a part in this fantastic event.

You can still support our runners by donating to our JustGiving campaign until 4 October 2024. We have reached our original target of £1500 but the more we raise, the more underrepresented students we can support at York St John University. Thank you to everyone who took part in our team or who donated to support our alumni-funded scholarships.
