Leeds 10K 2024: List of road closures, routes and number collection information ahead of popular charity run

Set up in 2006 by Jane Tomlinson, who during her lifetime raised £1.8 million for charity while she was battling terminal cancer, the Leeds 10K continues to fundraise charities to this day.

The 10K, which sees runners take off from the University of Leeds’ Parkinson Building before making their way around the city, is set to take place this Sunday, June 23, with thousands of runners taking on the challenge in teams, or individually.

In addition to the 10K, families can get involved in the Leeds Mini and Junior Run, which starts less than an hour after the main race and includes a 1.5K race for children aged between three and eight (Mini) and a 2.5K race for those between nine and 14.
