The Leeds Half Marathon is one of Yorkshire’s biggest events of its kind.
On the same day as the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, this much-loved half marathon usually attracts thousands of runners of all abilities and ages. So, whether you're a regular runner or a first timer this could be the event for you!
What makes it special is the crowds - you can rely on Yorkshire folk to come out in their thousands to cheer you on. Support for runners along the route is always phenomenal, whatever the weather. Every participant will get a boost from the words of encouragement you receive as you head out on the out and back course, finishing in the iconic Headingley Stadium!
