York University Challenge

The York University Challenge is a 6-hour timed running event held on the grounds of York University. The course is a 2.2-mile out-and-back route featuring a slight ascent, offering a moderate challenge. Participants can choose their distance, from a single lap to multiple laps equating to a half marathon, marathon, or continuous running for the full six hours.

The event fosters a friendly atmosphere with homemade cake, a fully stocked aid station, and a cupless policy encouraging runners to bring their own bottles. Amenities include free parking and toilet facilities at the York Sports Centre. Each finisher receives a bespoke bookmark-style medal and a goody bag.
