Road Running
Please note that City of York AC does NOT affiliate for road running. Members take part in road races as members of our partner club York Acorn Running Club. There have been some instances this year of members running road races in City of York vests which means that we may miss out on team prizes (I believe we have done so this year) and it makes us look foolish to other clubs. If you need an Acorn vest contact John Tattersall or Paul Richardson. So don't forget to wear the read Acorn vest in road races. Note that the same applies to fell and trail races.
For more information about road running, go to the York Acorn Running Club website www.yorkacornrunningclub.org.uk
York & District Road Races League
The club affiliates to the York and District Road Running League which organises a series of 10k races between May and July. There are usually 5 races plus a staggered start handicap.
Road Championships
A high priority is given to road relay championships, the Northern 12 and 6 stage relays and if we qualify the National relays. The mens event has 12 legs, the womens 6 legs.
Open Races
The club takes part in a large number of open road races, some of which are classified as targets.
We organise the York Millennium Bridge races which usually take place on a Tuesday evening in August. The program consists of a 1 mile fun run, a 2.5 race and 5k races of which there are 2 due to the number of entries and limitations of the course. The 1st 5k race is for faster runners and the 2nd for the slower ones.
