About the race
The Riverbank Challenge is a chip-timed 10K / 6.2 miles along the banks of the River Ouse around Goole and Hook. The course is flat with mixed terrain and has about 13 metres of climb in total. It follows riverside paths and passes through Hook village, with narrow riverbank sections where runners should keep to the line and follow marshal directions. The final kilometre runs along the riverbank with the finish visible for much of that section.
Race day features an event village at Goole Town Cricket Club with registration, bag drop, toilets and food traders. There is a separate kids fun run and afternoon activities including music, face painting and inflatables. Water stations are located at roughly 3 km and 7 km. Every finisher receives a bespoke medal and a collectable keepsake. Trophies are awarded to the first three men and women and prizes are given to age group winners from 40 upwards. Official times count for Power of 10 and runbritain rankings. An optional race T shirt is available to purchase with entry.
Safety and wellbeing guidance asks runners to arrive hydrated, dress for the weather and complete emergency details on the race number. Marshals, medics and event staff are present on course and in the village. The event promotes a litter free approach to protect the riverbank path.
