Faster and flatter than London, Paris, Chicago or Berlin! Whether you’re aiming to smash your PB or just looking to cross the finish line, the Yorkshire Marathon is ideal for beginners and experienced athletes alike.
Your Yorkshire Marathon experience
Starting and finishing at the University of York, this fast and flat route allows you to enjoy the beautiful Yorkshire scenery whilst passing a few famous landmarks, including, Stamford Bridge and York Minster. Maybe you'll even get a high-five from the vicar!
As you loop back towards the finish line, don't forget to "do the Y" as you cross the line. It's tradition after all!

Guide or support runners are also welcomed, but they are required to have their own place in the event.

The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but for disabled people its exacerbated existing barriers and exposed many new issues, leaving more and more disabled people feeling isolated and forgotten.
£65 could pay for one week of support for a disabled person to access our Starting Line service, a pre-employment training programme for disabled people at the start of their journey into work.
£450 could cover the cost of 50 phone calls to the Scope helpline, providing free, independent and impartial advice and support on issues that matter to disabled people and their families.
