Road Closures For Beverley 10k

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is advising residents, motorists and the travelling public of road closures relating to the Hall Construction Group Beverley 10K, which is being run on Sunday, 11 May.

Beverley Leisure Complex will be used as the assembly point. Runners will then make their way to Eastgate and the starting point, which is situated between the junctions with Minster Yard North and Minster Yard South.

The race starts at 11.15am and takes the runners through Beverley to North Bar via Eastgate, Lord Roberts Road, Champney Avenue, Lairgate and North Bar Within.

Once through North Bar, runners turn left and continue west along the York Road (A 1174) taking the left hand turn into Newbald Road, heading to the cross roads with Mill Lane / Walkington Heads. North Bar traffic lights will be placed on red for a ten minute period in order to give priority to runners turning left into York Road from North Bar Within.

At the Walkington Heads crossroads, runners turn left and head south along Mill Lane to the junction with the B1230 Walkington Traffic Lights.

At the traffic lights, runners turn left to start the return run into Beverley via the B1230 (Broadgates) / Keldgate Road / Walkington Road, Westwood Road and Newbegin, crossing into Saturday Market via Lairgate and Old Waste to complete the final leg to the finishing line in Wednesday Market.
