Yorkshire Marathon 2025
This marathon has been a monster success from day one. In many ways, it’s the Jewel in White Rose County’s sporting crown.
Since its inaugural event in 2013, it’s got bigger and bigger. And every year, thousands of runners of all abilities take part on the truly breathtaking course.
You’ll never be far from the locals who will be out in force to cheer you along. This event is 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!
So whether you’re looking to achieve a personal best or just looking to cross the line, the Yorkshire Marathon is a great experience for beginners or experienced athletes alike.

Wooden Spoon works with some event suppliers to provide a platform for our members and supporters to fundraise for the charity. There is a cost to the charity to administer these events and therefore we have set minimum fundraising levels which we view as achievable based on previous participants. It is at Wooden Spoon’s discretion whether to allow the participants to take part or not for the charity, if fundraising levels are not met. Thanks for your understanding.
