The event, which is among the several in Yorkshire which is organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All charity, took place on Sunday (Oct 20), with the main event starting at 9.30am.
The 26.2 mile race saw runners start and finish at the University of York before taking in some of the stunning sights both in the historic city centre and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside.
The marathon will start and finish at the University of York’s Heslington campus and it follows a route that takes runners through the historic city centre, which will pass through the medieval walls, and north eastwards out of the city.
The runners also travelled through Stockton on the Forest, Grange Wood, Upper Helmsley, Stamford Bridge, Gate Helmsley, Turkers Wood, Murton, Osbaldwick and back towards Heslington.
Operations director at Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, Tristan Batley-Kyle, said: “The Yorkshire Marathon Festival has grown into a major event on the running calendar, attracting runners from both home and abroad whilst raising funds for some excellent local charities."
