Inspired by the Marathon Du Medoc in France’s wine region, the Marathon Du Malton 10k is a ‘Gourmet Wineathlon’ going through an area of Yorkshire famous for its local produce and beautiful countryside. We did it in 2023 with our daughters (aged 10 and 8 at the time) and really enjoyed the walk/jog/shuffle through the stunning surroundings of Malton. It was great to have some local food to enjoy along the way, and definitely reduced the moaning.

Starting and finishing in Malton’s pretty Market Place, this unique 10k course offers contestants the chance to nibble and sip their way around the treat-laden course.

With a programme of live music, food, drink & fun aimed at spectators as much as racers – bring the family down, cheer on the participants and enjoy a joyful day of laughs, live entertainment & more! Champions aren’t born, they’re made in Malton!

As well as the 3 races themselves, there’ll be a programme of music, entertainment and food It’s a great day out for racers and spectators! All entrants receive a champion’s gift and certificate.

Three ticket options on offer:

– ‘Le Classique’ (The main event – 10k with food & drink)

– ‘L’escargot’ (Same as ‘Le Classique’ but just for walkers – dogs on leads also welcome!)

– The Malton 10k – This one is ‘Sans Arret’ (no food & drink stops, just you vs the clock!)
