Leeds 5K (August 2026)
The Leeds 5K is a road race held at the University of Leeds Brownlee Centre. The event takes place on a traffic-free, flat course situated within the Bodington Playing Fields. Participants complete three laps of the circuit to reach the total distance.
- 5 km
The race is EA licensed and chip-timed, with results appearing on Power of 10. Runners receive their results via text message upon crossing the finish line, followed by the publication of mile splits the next day. A chocolate bar is provided to all participants at the conclusion of the event. The course is also noted as being suitable for wheelchair users.
The event operates with a specific race number system. Upon first entry, runners are assigned a number with an embedded timing chip that is used for both Leeds and York 5K events. Those who possess a red 5K race number from previous years (2020-2026) are required to reuse it. Registration facilities include water, distance markers, and toilets, though there are no changing facilities, showers, or baggage storage available on-site. The entry limit is set at 200 participants, and registration must be completed in advance as there is no entry available on the day of the event.
