The Plusnet 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.
Achieve a coveted personal best or simply be spurred on by great support and entertainment around the route - The Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon has all the ingredients to make this an unforgettable experience.
The marathon proved a hit from the word go with all 6,000+ places for the inaugural 2013 event snapped up in just 3 days. Athletes - professional and amateur - came from not only across the UK but from France, Spain, Ireland, the USA, Africa and the Caribbean. Capacity was increased to 7,000 in 2014 and the event was again a complete sell out, with all spots being taken within five hours.
And for those people who find the idea of taking on the full 26.2 miles too daunting, the inclusion of the Yorkshire Marathon Corporate Relay in the 'running schedule' offers the chance for teams to get involved, too. Groups of friends or colleagues can complete the course in relay form - each sharing a section of the 26.2 mile course while soaking up the unique atmosphere of a marathon race day.
