The Yorkshire Marathon, sponsored by the Asda Foundation, is an annual marathon road running event held in York, UK in October, first held in 2013, and organised by Run For All Events.
History[]
In the inaugural running of the event on 20 October 2013, over 3,800 runners finished the event. Hour-long race highlights produced by Dream Team Television were broadcast two weeks later by Channel 4 and were subsequently shown by other sports channels including Sky Sports, BT Sport, British Eurosport and Premier Sports.
The 2020 edition of the race was postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all entries automatically transferred to 2021.[1]
