2025 McCain Yorkshire Coast races in Scarborough - here's when the road closures take effect
People of all ages and abilities are set to descend on the Yorkshire coastline for the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10K, as well as the 5K and Fun Run editions, on Sunday October 19.
One of the region’s most popular road-runs, thousands of participants are expected to take part as non-for-profit organisers, Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, are proud to now deliver the event, a new addition to the Run For All calendar in 2025.
Kicking off at 9.45am, the 10K will take people out on the coastal route along the Scarborough Coast, passing landmarks including Scarborough Castle, North Bay Beach and Scarborough Open Air Theatre, before heading back to Scarborough Spa for the big finish.
The 5K will follow shortly after at 10.05am, open to people aged 11 plus, as well as the Fun Run edition, which is open to participants aged three-plus and will see runners set off at 11.30am.
Those taking part are invited to wheel, walk, jog or run their way round the course as organisers work to make the event as inclusive as possible.
