Yorkshire marathon sold out
The first ever Yorkshire marathon has sold out with 5,500 places being snapped up in three days. It is being held in October in memory of charity fundraiser Jane Tomlinson.
Talks are now on going to see whether, in coming months, capacity can be increased a final time to 6,000, which would make a further 500 places available.
