This is where it all began.
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.
MACS is a small charity making a big impact. In the UK, around 100 babies a year are born with these conditions and increasing numbers of people are seeking our support.
With YOUR help we can transform their lives. Your funds will help MACS to:
support families emotionally during the tough times
provide a platform for people to support each other and share experiences
share information, resources and essential equipment
organise social and sporting activities to build self-confidence and independence
fund research into genetic causes of the MACS conditions
