The Leeds Half Marathon is Yorkshire’s biggest and probably loudest event of its kind.
The much-loved run raises hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity every year and often attracts more than 7,500 runners.
But what makes it special is the crowds. Support for runners along the route is always phenomenal, whatever the weather. Every participant will get a boost from the words of encouragement they receive.
Like all our events, the Leeds Half attracts runners of all abilities and ages. With a fantastically vibrant atmosphere guaranteed, this run could be right up your street.
So get yourself to Leeds and let's see you on the start line.
St Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support across Warrington, helping those who are coping with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones. It costs around £5.2 million each year to run the hospice – which means we need to raise £15,000 each and every day just to keep running. We are proud to be a Hospice without Walls offering care both in the Hospice building with our 10 bed in patient unit and Vitality Centre and out in the community with our Hospice at home service. In the Vitality Centre patients can receive physiotherapy and complementary therapy like reiki. We also have a family support team that are dedicated to helping those touched by terminal illness. All of these services focus on enabling people to live life to the full and are provided free to patients and their families, but we can only do this because of the generosity of the local community. We focus on the positives. Supporting patients physically, psychologically and emotionally to enable them to carry on living the lives they want to live for as long as possible. We aim to help them improve the quality of life for them and for their loved ones.
