Run or Cheer at the Yorkshire Marathon 2025
York takes centre stage in the running world each autumn with the Yorkshire Marathon, and 2025 is no exception. This year’s race will once again see thousands of runners line up on York’s historic streets for a 26.2-mile challenge that blends athletic achievement with breathtaking scenery.
The marathon route is famed for its beauty, starting near the University of York and winding through the city before heading into the picturesque Yorkshire countryside. Along the way, runners are cheered on by enthusiastic crowds, and landmarks like York Minster provide unforgettable backdrops. For many, it’s more than a race — it’s a bucket-list experience that combines endurance with the warm welcome of Yorkshire.
Even if you’re not lacing up your trainers, the Yorkshire Marathon offers plenty for spectators. Family and friends can line the course, enjoy live music and entertainment, and soak up the festive spirit that spreads throughout the city. With its lively atmosphere, October in York becomes a celebration of community, sport, and determination.

Choose from comfortable apartments and spacious houses, all close to transport links and ideal for resting tired legs after race day. For groups travelling together, having your own private base makes the experience even more memorable.
