Robert Sambridge, Age UK Leeds Abbey Dash event manager, said: “We’re so excited to be opening up our super early bird places for Leeds’ favourite running event. The Dash is a great day and we’re calling on the people of Yorkshire, no matter what your running experience, to sign up today to the much-loved event and really make a difference to the lives of older people.
“We have seen some fantastic fundraisers over the years – runners dressed as superheroes, children running for their grandparents. We’ve had professional runners smash elite records and we’ve also welcomed some local celebrity supporters too, so keep your eyes peeled when you’re dashing through the course, you never know who you might bump into.
