York University East Campus
Thursday 28th December
Around the complex campus buildings and the surrounding woodland and grasslands.
This is a mix of urban and cross country style. The campus buildings are not linear and have some complex garden areas and paths between them. The surrounding area is now maturing such that the surrounding woodland has more complexity, and challenge. Longer courses will also use the area of the York Sports Village at the eastern end.
We also offer a sprint event, which is also available as an add on to those feeling fit after their main run!
