Whether you’re aiming to smash your PB or just looking to cross the finish line, the Yorkshire Marathon is the perfect experience for beginners and experienced athletes alike!
Starting and finishing at University of York, the flat and fast 26.2 mile route takes you through the city centre past the historic York Minster and into surrounding countryside.
Ready for your next challenge? Join Team Cats and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.
For this challenge there is a registration fee of £25 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £250.
This amount could fund a week of running our Paws to Listen service, a phone line that takes calls from people who are struggling to cope with the loss of their cat.
Join our team of Cat Champions to get a Cats Protection running vest and then simply set up a fundraising page and raise whatever you can to help the cats and kittens.
I'll do it for the catsWe'll be with you every step of the way from sign up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:
From our York Adoption Centre to volunteer-run branches across the county, our teams work tirelessly to help abandoned, unwanted and neglected cats in Yorkshire.
You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection branch or centre to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats and kittens in your chosen area.
