The Beverley 5k Classic

A traffic-free closed course around the streets of Beverley where competitors race four laps of the towns cobbled street centre. The event is part of an evening of high class sporting action culminating in the British Cycling National Circuit Race Championships. Originally organised by Beverley AC up until 2006, then cancelled due to flooding in 2007, Kingston upon Hull AC have risen to the challenge of organising the roadrun with aspirations for the race to become one of the leading 5k's in the North. There is even a truck pull competition!
