Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon nearly sold out as runners urged to sign up
The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon returns to the streets of Leeds this Sunday, May 10, promising an unforgettable weekend of running, remembrance and community spirit – with places now close to selling out.
With demand continuing to surge and thousands of runners already registered, organisers are urging anyone considering taking part to sign up immediately to avoid missing out on one of Leeds’ most inspiring sporting events.
The event weekend brings together thousands of participants of all ages and abilities for a programme designed to be inclusive and accessible.
Activities begin on Saturday with the MND Mile, followed on Sunday by the Leeds Half Marathon, the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, and the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in partnership with Clarion.
Organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All in partnership with Leeds City Council, the event has become a flagship fixture in the city’s sporting calendar.
It brings together first-time runners, experienced athletes, wheelchair participants, charity fundraisers and elite competitors in a shared celebration of determination, courage and community.
This year’s event will once again honour the extraordinary legacy of the late Rob Burrow CBE.
A true Leeds sporting icon, Rob’s impact continues to resonate far beyond the rugby field. In his memory, the marathon will raise vital funds for Leeds Hospitals Charity and the MND Association, supporting people living with motor neurone disease while helping to drive forward specialist care and research.
With race weekend fast approaching and limited places remaining, anticipation is building as Leeds prepares to come together once more – to run, to remember, and to celebrate the enduring legacy of Rob Burrow.
Anyone thinking about taking part is encouraged to register now while places remain available.
Tristan Batley-Kyle, Operations Director at Run For All, commented: “Excitement is really building as the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon approaches, and demand for places has been incredible. We are very close to selling out across the weekend.
“This event means so much to the city – not just as a mass-participation race, but as a day where communities come together to raise vital funds, support great causes and celebrate Rob Burrow’s remarkable legacy.
“If you’re thinking about signing up, now is the time to do it. There truly is something for everyone, and we cannot wait to welcome runners and supporters to Leeds for what promises to be a very special weekend.”
