Event Overview
The Mighty Morley 10K is a road running event organized by Morley Running Club. Held in the town of Morley, Leeds, the event celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2026. The race is a volunteer-led, not-for-profit initiative designed to raise funds for local good causes while maintaining a focus on sustainability. The event has an entry limit of 1,500 participants and is open to runners aged 15 and over on race day.
Course Details
The 10 km course consists of a single undulating lap on closed roads through the historic streets of Morley. The route features two out-and-back sections and a three-way crossover at a location known as Morley Bottoms. The roads remain closed for approximately 120 minutes after the start; runners remaining on the course after this time are required to move to the pavements. The event is inclusive and accommodates wheelchair racers.

Race Headquarters is located at Crank Studios. Facilities available to participants include:

Sustainability and Rewards
