2024 timings to be confirmed.
Open to teams of six from all backgrounds, the relay is a wonderful way to socialise, boost morale, promote teamwork and have a great day out! Get your marathon medal, achieve your CSR goals, raise funds for your chosen charity or for healthy competition.
Relay distances vary making this run accessible for all abilities. Take on the beautiful and ancient streets of York in a battle to claim the bragging rights of being the fastest team in the race!
Relay runners will take on distances from 2.8 to 6.1 miles each:
Teams will be kitted out in their own, personalised racing t-shirts. The shirts will be branded with your team name, logo and, should you be running for a particular cause, a charity logo too. By sporting these on the day, your team will be instantly recognisable – great for boosting your exposure and promoting your cause, charity, sport team, or business.
Team entries are granted access to race day hospitality. Here, you can escape the elements, meet your fellow competitors and take advantage of the free refreshments both before and after your run.
Your package also includes a digital team photo. Once we’ve captured your team’s pre-race enthusiasm, we’ll send you a link post-event – making for a great social post to celebrate your team's fantastic efforts.
Not only will all team members receive their finisher’s goody bag (including all sorts of treats, your finisher’s t-shirt and your race medal), but the winning teams will also be recognised and presented with their own award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Both the fastest female and fastest male winner will also receive an award.
Teams will have the opportunity to feature in profile-raising news stories about the challenge via the many media partners and social channels.
All Corporate Challenge entrants will have a finisher T-Shirt included in the entry fee.

Whether it's running past the historic York Minster, hi-fiving the vicar and just taking in the beautiful Yorkshire scenery there is guaranteed to be a memorable moment at the Yorkshire Marathon. Great race, fantastically well organised and marshalled, fabulous friendly support and a lovely piece of bling. Put Yorkshire on your to do list! Nigel M
Beautiful run through the middle of the city and then out into the countryside. Beware the gradual, but long, incline at mile 17/18. Phil K
This is a great first marathon, or PB course. It is well organised with busses to take supporters to points of the course where their encouragement helps keep your spirits up. It has a great warm up at the start and the highlight is the Vicar, hi fiving runners in one of the villages. Helena C
My first marathon. The route itself is fairly flat with a little bit of a climb at the end before my favourite fast finish down to the finish line. Good quality big medal, good event village with food. Ray J
Great day Yorkshire Marathon. This was a really well organised event. Lots of pre-race emails. Race bib arrived through the post with a shiny race booklet. You don't get that often these days. Leeds C
I did the York Marathon as my first marathon, lovely city and plenty of time spent around the country side. I thought it was pretty flat and can see why plenty are saying its PB material. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Michael T
