The cut-off time for the Yorkshire Marathon is 7 hours.
All of the following are included in your team entry:
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 or business.
A dedicated VIP corporate hospitality area is provided for all team members at the University’s Roger Kirk Centre. This is the perfect place for teams to gather, take advantage of free refreshments, and enjoy a stress-free build-up to the race.
Your package also includes a team photo. Once we’ve captured your team’s pre-race enthusiasm, we’ll print, frame and post out the photo to you – making for a great souvenir of your day.
The winning teams from each of our three team categories will each be recognised and presented with their own award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes.
Teams will have the opportunity to feature in profile-raising news stories about the challenge via the event’s media partners.
Complimentary Park & Run service from the official event car park at Elvington Airfield for all team members.
Buses and volunteers are on hand to collect you from the hospitality area and take you to your starting leg. They will also bring you back once you've handed the baton over to your team-mate.
Team members will receive a finisher's bag containing your all-important medal and post-race snacks.
Every year thousands of runners take part in this event and fundraise for charity. While this is hugely beneficial to the charities it gives the runner advantages too, from supporting a cause that is close to your heart to securing a place in this highly sought-after event and much more.
Committing to raising money for charity gives you motivation to get outside and run, plus all of these extras which will elevate your event experience:
Charities know that raising money is all part of the challenge, which is why they provide advice, branded materials and a personalised online fundraising page to help the donations roll in. Think videos for social media, branded imagery and testimonials from previous runners.
Whether this is your first run or your fifth, you'll need to train for it! You'll receive an in-depth training plan with guidance, plus many charities have access to expert coaches and elite runners too, who can provide exclusive tips for your race preparation. Experts include Runningwithus, Full Potential and Olympic champs.
When you show up on the day, people need to be able to see clearly that you're supporting a charity. Most charities will give you a branded and personalised t-shirt or vest to run in on the big day, and often a training top too.
When you're partway through your run and your energy is flagging, what you need is a boost from cheering spectators to keep you moving. Many charities set up a cheer station along the route, keeping an eye out for you to send up a huge cheer as you run past!
Refreshments and an indulgent post-race sports massage are often provided by charities for their runners. This is the perfect way to recover alongside other people who have run for that cause.
You won't be the only person running for that charity, so it's well worth meeting other runners through the charity's invite-only social media pages! You can organise to meet up for training runs, chat with the charity's expert coaches and share tips and stories with each other to keep the motivation levels running high.
Charities buy places in this event, then give them to runners who agree to raise money for the charity – these are called charity places. Charity places are a great way to support a good cause and get a place in the event, especially if general entries are closed.
These charities have places in the event. To secure your place, select a charity, complete the form and follow the instructions.
No one should have to face cancer alone.

What a great event. Course was well signposted and spectacular scenery. Crowds were plentiful and support at the finish was superb. Emma F
I would recommend any novice runners to enter the Yorkshire Marathon, you will be well looked after. This was my first marathon and I had an unforgettable experience. Andrew R
My first ever marathon and it won’t be the last! Superbly well organised the support from the event leaders and local community was just fantastic xx thank you so much!! Cheryl M
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
Very well organised race, great flat-ish course, well supported by locals and great medal (with free medal engraving). Francis M
Fabulous event. This was my fourth time running it. The support is amazing and the runners are all so friendly. Michelle M
