Established in 2006 by the late Jane Tomlinson to continue her fundraising mission, the Leeds 10K has become one of the city's most anticipated mass participation events. Its scenic 10.2 km route leads runners past iconic landmarks, fueled by enthusiastic volunteer support and electrifying crowds. Participants enjoy a flat and fast route, ideal for both personal bests and fundraising efforts, and are cheered on by cheering supporters throughout the course. The race includes chip timing, a finisher’s goody bag, optional finisher T-shirt, exclusive medal, and a vibrant Event Village located at Millennium Square, featuring food, refreshments, charitable displays, and memorabilia options.
