About the event
The Yorkshire Marathon has been a monster success since day one. In many ways it’s the jewel in the White Rose County's sporting crown.
We like to think every element of The Yorkshire Marathon is charged with Yorkshire Spirit. Since the inaugural event in 2013, the event has got bigger and bigger. Every year, thousands of runners of all abilities take to its truly breathtaking course.
But you’ll never be far from the locals who will be out in force to cheer you along. The event is now such a global draw that spectators come from across the world to be part of the experience and to add their support.
As you head along University Road to the finish, remember; it’s tradition to "do the Y" as you cross the line. Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire!
Whether you’re aiming to smash your PB or just looking to cross the finish line, the Yorkshire Marathon is the perfect experience for beginners and experienced athletes alike.

Reviews
Very well organised and brilliant marshals and volunteers. Great atmosphere despite chucking it down all race. Flat and fast course, although not always the most scenic. Definitely not the cheapest, but v nice T-shirt and medal.
Pros: fast, mostly flat course. Great support from locals (even though it was pouring down). (Mostly) Scenic parts of York and it’s surrounding countryside. Nice medal. 10m available for friends/family to join in without running the full 26.2. Cons: poor quality T-shirt, event village didn’t have any sign posts or organisers who knew their way around. No where near enough toilets. Huge que for park and ride (nearly missed the start, despite arriving 90mins early at the P&R).
