Leeds 10K road closures: Where are road closures in Leeds ahead of the charity race, when will the roads be closed and how long for?

Runners of all ages and abilities will be travelling into the city of Leeds on Sunday, June 18, 2023, for the charity road run, the Leeds 10K.

The event was founded by Jane Tomlinson in 2007 and was her lasting legacy; having raised £1.8 million for charity while she was battling terminal cancer. She decided to set up the Leeds 10K to continue the fundraising vehicle for charities that she had started.

The day is predicted to raise tens of thousands of pounds for various charitable causes including the event’s partner charities the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Leeds Hospitals Charity, Leeds Mind, Macmillan Cancer Support, St George’s Crypt and Candlelighters.

The race will start at 9am outside the Parkinson Steps at the University of Leeds and those who will be taking part will be able to enjoy the views of the city as they take a route through Headingley and then into Meanwood before winding back past the First Direct Arena and finishing outside Leeds Art Gallery on The Headrow.

Rob Burrow MBE will also be taking part as well as his family in the Leeds Arena Group Mini and Junior run.

The Arena Group Leeds Mini and Junior runs are open to anyone from the ages of three plus, offering a family-friendly atmosphere, friends and schools to stay active and healthy.

The Mini 1.5km course is open to children aged between three and eight and the junior 2.35km course caters for children aged between nine and 15, both welcoming all abilities to wheel, walk, jog and run.

The Arena Group Leeds Mini and Junior events will begin and finish at the Parkinson Steps of the University of Leeds and the junior event will start at 9.45am and the mini at 9.55am.

BBC Radio Leeds will be broadcasting live from the start and finish line.

Operations director at Run For All, Tristan Batley-Kyle, said: “As with many major running events, some road closures are put in place to ensure the safety of the participants and spectators.

“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. All closures will be lifted as soon as possible.”
