The McCain Yorkshire Coast 10K in Scarborough sold out, with thousands running the course on Sunday, October 11.

Thousands of runners gathered in Scarborough on Sunday, October 11 for the return of the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10K, alongside 5K and fun runs. The 10K and fun runs sold out ahead of the event, reflecting its popularity on the autumn running calendar.

The women's 10K was won by Sarah Platten in a time of 38 minutes 54 seconds. Katie Alcock finished second in 39 minutes 38 seconds, with Krista Keough third in 39 minutes 42 seconds. The 10K race began at 9.45am from Scarborough Spa and followed a coastal route through South Bay, past the harbour and around the headland into North Bay, before returning to the Spa.

Mike Tomlinson, CEO of organisers Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, said: 'It was fantastic to see thousands of people come together in Scarborough, with both the 10K and Fun Runs selling out.' He added that the incredible demand helped generate funding for charities locally and beyond while creating a brilliant atmosphere along the coastline.
