The Yorkshire Marathon has been a monster success since day one. In many ways, it’s the jewel in the 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 got 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!

  • Date: Sunday 20th October 2024
  • Where: York City Centre – University of York, Heslington
  • Registration Fee: SOLD OUT  Early Bird Price – £25 / Full Price – £50
  • Fundraising Target: £350 (please speak to us if you have concerns about hitting this target)

To ensure Candlelighters raise enough from the events to cover our costs and then fund the many support services we provide for families, we need participants to raise the minimum fundraising target amount for each event. If you want to support us but aren’t sure if you’ll be able to reach the target, please do get in touch with us for a chat and we’ll help find the best way for you to support us.

By taking on a challenge event for Candlelighters, you’ll be joining #TeamCandlelighters and making a difference to children and families. As part of #TeamCandlelighters, you will receive a fundraising pack and support from our fundraising team, a technical running t-shirt or Vest, and access to our #TeamCandlelighters Facebook group where members can share tips, ask questions and get support. Once you’ve bought a place, don’t forget to request to join the #TeamCandlelighters Facebook group, here.
