Leeds Abbey Dash
The Leeds Abbey Dash is a city 10 kilometre road race organised by Run For All, held on Sunday 29 November 2026. The race has recently moved from Age UK to Run For All, with Age UK remaining the lead partner charity.
The event has been selected as the England Athletics 10K Championship, combining elite competition with mass participation. Elite entry places are limited and require application with verified qualifying times. Qualifying times listed are: women sub 36:00 for 10 km (or sub 17:30 for 5 km) and men sub 30:30 for 10 km (or sub 14:30 for 5 km).
The course starts on Wellington Street, proceeds towards Cardigan Fields, passes the gothic ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, continues down Abbey Road past the Abbey House Museum and along Kirkstall Road, and returns to Wellington Street for the finish. Organisers provide finisher medals, chip timing, a goody bag and an optional finisher t-shirt. Entrants must be 15 years or older on race day.
Event services include fixed first aid stations, water stations providing 330 ml bottles, pacers carrying finish time flags, baggage drop with labels from race numbers, and toilet facilities. Photography and post-race results are available. Sustainability measures include recycling at water stations and on-site trainer drop-off stations run with JogOn.
