What a day we have had at the 2019 Asda Foundation Yorkshire Marathon Festival. Every single one of you was incredible. Thank you to the volunteers, sponsors, spectators, and all the runners that took part today. You have made this day one to remember.
Today should have been the day we celebrated with thousands of you as you crossed the finish line. Months of training all leading up to one incredible moment. Whether you are running today or have completed the event before we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you all. For that indefatigable spirit which you all showed today. Despite the rain, the wind and the cold, we smiled, we ran and we conquered. Runners, volunteers, spectators, marshalls, we were all united against the elements and the outcome was epic. See you next year!

has been postponed to 2021. Full details can be found here
We would like to thank runners for your incredible support, kindness and patience
Our top three males have crossed the
@AsdaFoundation
Yorkshire Marathon finish line! First was Mark Buckingham in 2hrs 21mins and 42 secs, second place we saw Daniel Kestrel in a time of 2hrs 24mins and 47secs, third was Richard McDowell in 2hrs and 25 mins. Incredible results!
There's a misconception us Yorkshire folk are a bit tight. To disprove this vicious rumour, we'll be handing out spot prizes for the best finishes. Get practising.
