ROAD CLOSURES AND MAP

"It’s one of those races I always try and make the start line for because I’m a proud Yorkshire lad,” continues Cooke, who works for his hometown Barnsley Football Club, and whose personal best around the 26.2-mile course is two hours, 25 minutes, enough to earn him fourth place in 2018.Marathon in September, I was there when Kipchoge broke the world record which was pretty cool. I was at mile 23 or 24 and they put it on big screen at the side of the course.

"I’m very relaxed about Yorkshire this year, having just run Berlin. It might be a case that I run under two hours, 30 minutes or I’ll take it as it comes on the day.” Cooke eptimoses a large percentage of the amateur field for the Yorkshire Marathon, though not many are perhaps as dedicated as he is.“When I’m peaking I’ll do 110, 120 miles a week. I’ve run every day since November 2015,” he says, which, when you think about it, is astonishing commitment to what he accepts is unlikely to be something he ever does professionally."Unless you’re at the very top you just get sponsorship,” the Barnsley Athletics Club member says of the realities of running.
