Leeds Running Festival Half Marathon
Leeds Running Festival Half Marathon is a 21.1 km road and trail race held in Leeds, United Kingdom, in March. It takes place within a multi-distance festival that also includes 5 km, 10 km and junior races.
The venue is Roundhay Park, which covers more than 700 acres of parkland, woodland, lakes and gardens. The half marathon is run on the park's internal footpaths, and these mix tarmac with trail surfaces, so the underfoot conditions change from lap to lap. Over the full distance the route climbs about 264 metres in total, which makes it moderately hilly rather than a pure speed course.
The event village is based in the park, and the race is open to runners aged 17 and over. The setting gives the half marathon a green, open character that is unusual for a city event of this size.
