The Asda Foundation Leeds 10K was Jane Tomlinson’s vision. Jane founded the race using funds she raised by completing a series of astonishing endurance challenges, all whilst battling terminal cancer.
Jane died in 2007 soon after launching the first 10K. Today, the event has grown to become the highlight of the city’s running calendar; a hugely popular, inclusive and superbly-supported race for participants of all abilities.
In many ways, the Asda Foundation Leeds 10k captures the can-do, inspirational spirit of its founder.
Throughout the route that takes in many of the city’s historic landmarks, crowds come out in force. A fantastic atmosphere and friendly volunteers make the event unforgettable for all.
Whether you’re running for a PB, fundraising for a cause close to your heart, or simply aiming to get around and enjoy the day, this is the event for you.
Being diagnosed and living with a thyroid disorder can have a big impact on your life. We provide information and support to help people in the UK better understand and manage their thyroid condition. All our work is developed with the input of medical professionals and patients to ensure it is evidence-based. We also fund vital research into thyroid disease. We are also determined to raise the profile of thyroid disorders. Despite affecting up to 1 in 20 people in the UK, understanding of how they can affect both our physical and psychological wellbeing is low. So we work to raise awareness of thyroid disorders to ensure people recognise symptoms and seek prompt medical treatment. Every £1 you donate means we can continue to be here to support people living with thyroid disease. With your help, we can also continue to back much-needed research to improve treatments and outcomes for thyroid patients. Thank you.
