Run Yorkshire: Nearly 200 runners tackle 5k, 10k, and half marathons at Roundhay Park Sunday morning

From personal best chasers to first-time distance runners, athletes took to one of Leeds' most iconic green spaces for three challenging routes organised by Run Nation

Roundhay Park was filled with energetic runners this morning (October 4) as the Run Yorkshire series returned to one of Leeds' most scenic green spaces.

Organised by Run Nation, nearly 200 competitors laced up their trainers to take on a challenge, with routes spanning 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances through the park's picturesque paths, woodlands, and lakeside trails.

The autumnal event brought together runners of all abilities, from seasoned club athletes chasing personal bests to first-time distance runners and charity fundraisers.

Our photographer Steve Riding was at Roundhay Park to capture the starting line excitement, course action, and finish-line moments.
