The Knavesmire is the flat open ground inside York Racecourse, exposed and sometimes windy but with plenty of room to run a proper 5K session. Running along the River Ouse gives you flat miles through the city in either direction, and York's city walls circuit is a completely different kind of 5K run, just under three miles on top of the medieval walls, best done early in the morning before the pedestrian traffic picks up. 10K runs in York give you more distance when you're ready to push it further.
Have a browse through the listings below. Rowntree Park on the south side of the city gives you a smaller, contained option on flat ground when you want something less exposed than the Knavesmire. Half marathons in York and marathons in York are there when you're ready to go further.
