The Yorkshire Marathon has been a monster success since day one. In many ways, it’s the jewel in 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 gotten 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.
Like other small charities we can’t survive without funding and donations from charitable foundations, organisations and our wonderful community of fundraisers. We are so grateful for your support which is making such a difference to our work. Every penny counts and contributes towards providing, support and respite to carers. Since 2016, we have given away 190 free holidays to carers of loved ones living with life-limiting and terminal conditions – but we can’t continue to do this without your help!
