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.
Melanoma UK is one of the largest skin cancer charities in the UK.
Established in 2012, we are focused on raising awareness of melanoma (a form of skin cancer) and supporting those affected by it. The charity works to raise funds to help increase prevention through education and awareness and provide support to those working in the field of diagnosis, treatment and research. We are supported by senior medical advisors working in some of the UK’s leading hospital trusts. Melanoma is a largely preventable but potentially devastating disease and can be life threatening. Cases are on the increase and your support can really help make a difference in the fight against it.
