Leeds Running Festival

Come and join us for the Leeds Running Festival on Sunday 17th August 2025. Take the opportunity to run a chip-timed 5k, 10k, or Half Marathon around the beautiful Roundhay Park in Leeds. Roundhay Park is one of the biggest city parks in Europe, covering more than 700 acres of beautiful parkland, lakes, woodland, and gardens owned by Leeds City Council.

Event Details

Whether it is your first ever 5k or your 100th Half Marathon, we welcome runners of all abilities. Included in your entry are a unique venue-themed medal, chip-timed results, free official event photographs, and post-race goodies and refreshments. Each kilometre will be accurately marked out, and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and encourage you on your way to the finish line.

Race Schedule

Half Marathon starts at 9am, followed by the 10k and 5k at 10am. After every race, you’ll be able to grab a delicious pack of LOVE CORN, a crunchy snack that makes lunchtimes more exciting.
