Starting at the top of Vicar Lane – opposite the Grand Arcade, the route takes competitors towards Call Lane and Sovereign Street, along Wellington Street and out along Kirkstall Road. Runners will turn and return into town back along Kirkstall Road and continue into the city to finish outside Leeds Town Hall on The Headrow.

Both events are organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All and are part of the legacy of the late inspirational Jane Tomlinson CBE.

Tristan Batley-Kyle, Head of Events at Run For All, said: “We do try very hard to keep any closures to a minimum but, inevitably, some are necessary for the safety of the participants and spectators. We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused and would like to thank people in advance for their patience and support.”

People taking part in the event are encouraged to support one of the official partner charities or select to fundraise for a cause of their own choice.

The race's official partner charities are Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Macmillan Cancer Support, Sue Ryder, Martin House Children’s Hospice, Candlelighters, Leeds Mind, St George’s Crypt, Leeds Children’s Hospital Appeal and Brain Tumour Research and People in Action.
