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.
