Why join #TeamMRF at the Leeds Half Marathon?
The Leeds Half Marathon is Yorkshire’s biggest and probably loudest event of its kind. The much-loved run raises hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity every year and often attracts more than 7,500 runners.
But what makes it special is the crowds. Support for runners along the route is always phenomenal, whatever the weather. Every participant will get a boost from the words of encouragement they receive. With a fantastically vibrant atmosphere guaranteed, this run could be right up your street.
Each step you take in Leeds is a step towards defeating meningitis – together we can do it.
