Course
The route leaves Headingley Stadium, passes the University of Leeds and heads north into Meanwood and out past Golden Acre Park before turning back along Leeds Road to finish at the stadium. Fixed water stations hand out 330ml bottles, with isotonic drinks and gels at separate energy stations.
Race-day weather
Spring mornings in West Yorkshire are usually cool, but a mild, sunny day can feel warm by the return leg. Showers and breeze are common, so pack a layer for the stadium start.
About the race
Jane Tomlinson started the Leeds Half Marathon herself in 2003, and it remains one of Yorkshire's biggest running events and a major charity fundraiser. It shares race day with the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, so the city's roadside support is spread across two fields at once.
