The Marathon Day York Social Run

The Marathon Day York Social Run is a 6-hour timed running event held at Hamilton Panther's Clubhouse in York. Participants run a flat, multi-terrain 10k loop passing through Bishopthorpe and along the Planets Path to Naburn. The course may include a trail section if weather conditions permit, but organizers aim to avoid muddy terrain.

The event encourages a social atmosphere where runners can walk, chat, and decide after each lap whether to continue, with no compulsory marathon distance or cut-off times. Facilities include refreshments, aid stations, toilets, and showers. The event is limited to 60 entrants and offers official timing and special mementos for all participants.
