Get your marathon medal by joining five of your friends or colleagues for the Yorkshire Marathon Relay. The relay sees teams of six take on the beautiful and ancient streets of York in a battle to claim the bragging rights of being the fastest team in the race.

Whether you are getting involved to reach your teams fundraising targets, fitness goals, or experience the vibrant race day atmosphere, with a fast & flat course the Yorkshire Marathon presents a fantastic opportunity to achieve something amazing. Unleash your inner champion!

Alternatively, if you’ve always wanted to run a marathon but weren’t sure you could complete the distance alone, then this might be the answer.

Distances within the relay vary, making the run both accessible and fun for runners of all abilities.

There are prizes in the following relay team categories:

Entries after 20th of September will not receive a race day t-shirt.
