Yorkshire Marathon Relay

If you’re looking to achieve your team's fundraising goals, or simply to enjoy a bit of healthy competition, then this is the event for you.

Alternatively, if you’ve always wanted to run a marathon but weren’t sure you could complete the distance alone, then this might be the answer.

Get your marathon medal by joining five of your friends or colleagues for the Yorkshire Marathon Relay.

It's all about teamwork. Whether you’re on the final leg of 3.2 miles or the 2nd of 6.1 miles, together you WILL complete a marathon.

Open to teams from all backgrounds, the marathon relay is a wonderful way of networking, boosting morale, promoting teamwork or just rewarding yourselves with a great day out.

Distances within the relay vary, making the run both accessible and fun for runners of all abilities.

• Leg B: 6.1 miles 
• Leg C: 2.8 miles Leg

Yorkshire is one of the regions hardest hit by cancer - sadly more people in our region are likely to have their lives cut short by cancer than almost anywhere else in England.

By fundraising for Yorkshire Cancer Research, you are helping to change this. Your support enables us to fund pioneering cancer research that saves lives right here in Yorkshire, in your town, your city and your community.
