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.
Here at Call4Backup, We believe that the well-being of those working inside the Police Forces throughout the UK is the most important thing. There are many things that can affect the ability of those working in our police to do their very best while at work. With this in mind it is imperative that we show support and solidarity to anyone who may be battling anything that prevents them from doing their very best in the role they perform. This is the reason why we, as a charity run by police - for police, are plugging the gap in providing support to our police colleagues to make sure they have the tools to start their journey to recovery and get back to doing the AMAZING job they do every day to protect the public throughout the UK.
