Full bus diversions and road closures ahead of 3K Leeds Santa Dash through Headingley
A number of roads will be closed ahead of the Leeds Santa Dash this weekend.
Santa’s of all ages and abilities are set to take on the Leeds Santa Dash on Sunday, December 7. Forming the final leg of Kevin Sinfield’s 7in7: Together Challenge, participants will unite to run with purpose, as proceeds from the event will support the MND community.
Setting off at 2pm, festively dressed participants will set off from Leeds Beckett University, and head off on the 3K fun run route finishing at AMT Headingley Stadium. They’ll cross the finish line, greeted by loved ones and receive their festive finisher bauble.
All profits from the Leeds Santa Dash will be donated to Kevin’s 7in7: Together Challenge. Here’s a full breakdown of the bus diversions and road closures...
