Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yorkshire Marathon is basically pretty flat, whiteflash! It's also my "home" marathon. :-) It only starts and finishes in York, the rest is pretty much countryside.

It's down a short sharp hill in the first half a mile from the University, flattish until mile 9, up a couple of shortish ones again and then down to 14, then from about mile 14-16 a long invisible one that you don't notice in a car or on a bike!

From 19-25.5 is basically flat again, and then you meet the hill you enjoyed running down at the star as you turn the corner to the finish. (I learned new swear words from my fellow runners there when I first did it!). Course profile here.... fetcheveryone.com/route-1784853

Support - lots at the start for the first 7 or 8 miles, and the end from mile 24 onward, and in Stamford Bridge (mile 14-ish) and Dunnington (16-20 ish) in the out and back legs. If the weather is okay, then also in the villages around 10-11 miles! There are undeniably some very quiet bits in-between!

(It's better than the first time I did Manchester, but that was the year they restarted it and it was a bit of a shambles there.)

Definitely not as much fun as London!

Got something to say?
