The second running of this popular road marathon, another
sell-out within days of opening back in January. Around
4,000 marathon runners line up at University of York
ready for 26.2 miles of roughly flat (well, flat as a cap
by Yorkshire standards) road, passing through the City to
begin, past the glorious Minster and then out into the
countryside.
It's a well supported race, with water every 3 miles,
sports drinks every 6 and gels at various points too. And
the unofficial aid stations of jelly babies galore along
with the shouts & high fives from the crowd that line the
route.
With a couple of switchbacks and some gentle inclines,
it's not the easiest route, but there's something about
York that makes it fast.
