Roadworks force charity to change run route

Organisers of the Hull 10K have confirmed the event will have an alternative route in 2025

The 2025 Jane Tomlinson Run for All event will move out of Hull city centre because of ongoing roadworks to the A63, officials have confirmed.

The race, which usually takes place around the Guildhall and Old Town, will now start and finish at Hull Kingston Rovers' stadium.

Ms Tomlinson raised almost £2m for charity by taking part in endurance events around the world before her death from cancer in 2007.

The Hull 10K which takes place on 8 June, will be sponsored by chemicals firm Ineos, which is providing 50 free places to the local community.

The Hull 10k is one of the biggest annual charity events in the region

Run For All has organised the Hull 10K for over a decade and thousands of runners have raised money for charities in the local area.

The new route for 2025 will start and finish at Craven Park, as well as taking runners through East Park.

Siobhan Curtis, marketing and communications director at Run For All, said: "The new route for 2025 comes after working closely with Hull City Council to ensure we can bring the event to the city whilst ongoing highways works in the centre meant the yearly iteration of the route was unusable."
