About the event
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.
