Event overview
The Leeds Half Marathon is your chance to turn every mile into meaningful change. Created in the spirit of Jane Tomlinson, who proudly started the very first race in 2003, this inspiring event continues to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity every year.
Thousands of runners take part not just for the challenge, but to power life-changing causes through sponsorship. Every step you take fuels vital support, and the atmosphere along the route will lift you higher—crowds line the streets in all weather, cheering every fundraiser towards the finish.
Welcoming runners of all ages and abilities, the Leeds Half delivers a vibrant, feel-good experience that celebrates community, determination and generosity. If you’re ready to make your miles matter, Leeds is the place to do it.
Take on the challenge, get sponsored, and make a real difference. Let's see you on that start line!
