The Yorkshire Marathon

The Yorkshire Marathon has quickly established itself as one of the highlights of the White Rose County’s sporting year. This popular and picturesque run, with fantastic PB potential, takes participants past some of York’s splendid historic sites and along scenic country lanes, making it an attractive prospect for runners of all abilities.Described by the Daily Mirror as the ‘Number 1 Alternative to London’, the Guardian also rated it as a perfect run to ‘nail your PB!’.This much-anticipated run through the heart of York will be the biggest marathon in the whole of the White Rose County. Our aim in establishing this new event was to bring a mass participation marathon closer to home for the thousands of Northern runners eager to push themselves to the ultimate limit. But, with an exceptionally flat and fast course, the marathon is certain to attract athletes from across the UK and beyond.
