Club records

These are the club records for Vale of York Athletic Community. They were compiled by our very own statto Will Haw, who appears on the list himself four times. They have been checked against Power of 10 and are as accurate as possible given the data we have to work with.

What the list shows more than anything is range. The names below run from an under-15 sprinter to a V55 pole vaulter, and every one of these marks was set by somebody who competed first-claim for Vale of York when the record was set.

One rule for the whole list. Every record here was set over open distances and with the open, senior implements, whatever the athlete’s age group. Implement weights are given in brackets, and an i after a mark means it was set indoors.

Women

Men

Two of these are worth a second look. Sam Gunning and Will Haw share the men’s 5K road record at 15:04, and both 20 mile records were set at the same race, the Spen 20 at Liversedge on 22 March 2026. The men’s marathon record was shared too until October 2026, when Dan Lloyd took it outright at York. There is more on all of that in our write up of the road records.

Compiled by Will Haw. Will holds the club records at 800m, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m, parkrun and 5k, and put this list together from results sheets, meeting records and Power of 10.
