The York 5K Series August takes place on a Friday evening at the University of York Sport Village Cycle Circuit in York, North Yorkshire. This event is part of the EvenSplits York 5K programme, which is held monthly from February to November. Races begin at 7:30pm at the YO10 5FG location.
The course is set on the Sport Village cycle circuit, offering runners a controlled, flat, and fast surface, distinct from city streets or trails. This configuration is suitable for achieving a 5K personal best. The series maintains an online archive of past results, allowing participants to track their progress. Runners may also associate their participation with charity fundraising via GoFundMe.
