Entries for the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k run open next week and organisers say they are looking to continue building the events green credentials.
The Yorkshire Coast 10k run is looking to plant another 4000 trees to offset the environmental impact of the event.
The 2022 event takes place in October, entries for the event open next week.
Race Director - Alan Whelan - says they want to build on last years environmental action.
Last year over four thousand trees were planted to offset the environmental impact of the event. That effort will continue with two trees being planted for every 10k runner and 500 trees to offset the fun run.
Alan Whelan says this year they have a new measure in place as well in the form of biodegradable medals.
The children’s medals will be handmade in the UK and seeded with wild flower seeds that can be planted after the race. The 10k medals will be made from Welsh slate.
Entry for this year's event opens on Wednesday 1st June at 7am. There will be a limit of 2,000 places for the 10k event although a new entry system will mean that for the first time a waiting list will be in operation for people not able to get a place.
