Celebrating its 31st year, the Age UK Leeds Abbey Dash is popular with fun ­runners, celebrities and elite athletes alike and has been hailed one of the best races in the country by Men’s Running magazine.

Participants who sign up will be raising funds to help Age UK make a crucial difference to the lives of older people.

Research from the charity shows that one in four people aged 65 and over feel they have no one to go to for help and support.
