| Yorkshire Marathon
marathon
| UKA 2013-105200 | | The race's 5500 places were taken in 3 days - my understanding is that the organisers are seeking to expand to 6000 and so you can currently register on their waiting list; "first 100 entries at just 30 pounds!"; "with a consistently flat and extremely fast course - flatter than London, Berlin, Paris, Chicago and New York - the Yorkshire Marathon has all the ingredients for you to achieve that sought-after personal best - charity and fun runners will be spurred on by great support and entertainment around the route"; "York University will welcome the Yorkshire Marathon as part of its 50th year celebrations, hosting the race village as well as the race’s start and finish"; "a truly Yorkshire Marathon, showcasing the very best of the City of York: you'll enter the city walls through Walmgate Bar and enjoy the bustling atmosphere ... before catching your first glimpse of York Minster - you'll leave the city walls via the ornate Monk Bar and can speed on through mile upon mile of flat landscape around the Vale of York and the pretty villages and towns of North and the East Riding of Yorkshire"; here are two course maps: organiser's map and the course measurers's map; to me, it looks as if only the 4K just after Stamford Bridge is on a main road; unfortunately, this new event is on the same day as the Bridlington Half Marathon (which includes the Yorkshire Vets Half Marathon Championships) |
