The York Marathon and Half Marathon is a small race and the Rail Trail does not have the space for jogging strollers. Thank you for understanding this policy.
The City of York's policy is no dogs at city events, therefore we cannot allow dogs on the race course. (Much to the dismay of the dog-loving Race Director)
