After a week of rain, the forecast before the York 10k was tentatively bright with possible showers. Luckily, Sunday dawned bright and sunny with near perfect running conditions for our team.
Some new personal bests
This year’s York 10k included both novice and experienced runners, but all of our team managed to complete the York 10k in less than 1 hour and 15 minutes. We’d like to think it was because of the energy drinks and healthy snacks we’d given all of our runners beforehand, but it might have also had something to do with their months-long training before they even got to the start line!
We’d like to thank Denis, Henry, Matt, Louise, Sally and Sarah for their time and dedication – it’s certainly paid off!

You can still support our runners by donating to our JustGiving campaign until 8 September 2023. Our aim is to raise £1500 for our scholarship fund, enough to fund half a three year scholarship, or three half scholarships.
