The York Half Marathon Winter Warmer Run

The York Half Marathon Winter Warmer Run, held at York Racecourse, offers participants the choice of 5k, 10k, or half marathon distances. The course features a mostly flat route with some undulating sections, combining tarmac paths and trail segments, including some muddy areas. The half marathon includes an initial 1.1k out-and-back followed by four full laps of the course.

The event is dog-friendly and allows off-road running buggies but is not suitable for wheelchair users. Participants enjoy chip timing, medals, snacks, and a supportive atmosphere. The run supports the charity Shelter, raising awareness and funds to combat homelessness. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
