Leeds Running Festival 2026

Join St Gemma’s Hospice at the Leeds Running Festival for a unique opportunity to run 5K, 10K or a half marathon around the beautiful Roundhay Park, Leeds.

Join Team St Gemma’s at the Leeds Running Festival!

Take the opportunity to run a chip timed 5k, 10k or Half Marathon around the beautiful Roundhay Park in Leeds.

Choose the date that suits you best – Sunday 5 April, Sunday 7 June or Sunday 30 August – or challenge yourself to run all three!

Roundhay Park in Leeds is one of the biggest city parks in Europe. It covers more than 700 acres of beautiful parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens owned by Leeds City Council – creating the perfect setting for a Sunday morning run!

Whether it is your first ever 5k or 100th Half Marathon, runners of all abilities are welcome with everyone receiving a well-earned medal at the finish.

Included in your entry:

  • Unique medal
  • Chip timed results
  • Free official event photographs
  • Post race goodies and refreshments

It would be fantastic to see as many St Gemma’s runners there as possible; let’s turn the run purple and make sure everyone knows who the charity of the year is for Leeds Running Festival 2026!
