Leeds Half Marathon 2025
The Leeds Half Marathon is one of Yorkshire’s most iconic events, with a legacy stretching back to 2003, when Jane Tomlinson herself proudly started the race. Each year, this much-loved run raises hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity, attracting thousands of participants from all walks of life.
What makes the Leeds Half Marathon truly special is the incredible support from the crowds. Whether rain or shine, the streets are always lined with people cheering runners on. Their words of encouragement give every participant that extra boost to keep going.
This event welcomes runners of all abilities and ages, and with its lively, friendly atmosphere, it’s sure to be a memorable experience.
This year, why not make your run even more meaningful by supporting Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice? By raising funds, you’ll be helping to provide vital care for children with life-shortening conditions and their families in West Yorkshire.
Our running places are FREE – we cover the £35 entrance fee on behalf of our competitors. We just ask that you pledge to raise at least £400 in sponsorship.
So, get yourself to Leeds, lace up your trainers, and let’s see you on the start line!
