Returning for it’s 10th year, the Yorkshire Marathon Festival is set to host it’s biggest and best run.
Established as one of the UK’s most popular marathons, 2023 is sure to be an outstanding event that newbie and experience runners won’t want to miss out on.
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.
Described by the Daily Mirror as the ‘Number 1 Alternative to London’, the Guardian also rated it as a perfect run to ‘nail your PB!’
If a marathon isn’t for you, then the festival also offers the Yorkshire 10 miler!

Why run the Yorkshire Marathon for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation?
- We are the only lung cancer charity in the UK dedicated to helping everyone affected by lung cancer.
- Lung cancer is a disease that, despite what many may think, can affect anyone.
- It is the UK’s biggest cancer killer, with over 36,000 dying from lung cancer every year. It kills more people than breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer combined, and more women than breast and ovarian cancer combined.
- It is our mission to ensure everyone diagnosed with lung cancer can live well with the disease for as long as possible.
