Leeds Running Festival

The Leeds Running Festival August 2026, organized by RunThrough UK, takes place in Roundhay Park, Leeds, at Mansion Lane, LS8 2HH. Runners can choose from 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon distances, with a group booking option. The course combines road and gravel surfaces, and features an elevation gain of around 61 meters, winding through lakes, woodlands, and wide parkland for a scenic, forgiving urban route.

The event, in support of St. Gemma’s Hospice, promises a friendly atmosphere with marshals, a lively event village, and post-race goodies. Benefits include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, and sustainability-minded planning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
