Leeds 5K Series September

View all races for Sep 2026

The Leeds 5K is a flat, traffic free road race based at the Brownlee Centre at the University of Leeds Bodington Playing Fields. Part of a regular series of 5K races at the venue, it provides an accessible setting for runners looking to test themselves over a short and fast distance.

Runners complete three laps of the flat circuit, making the course particularly well suited to targeting a fast 5K or measuring progress over repeated races. The event is chip timed and England Athletics licensed, with results eligible for Power of 10 and individual mile splits provided to give runners a detailed look at their performance.

The traffic free course allows runners to concentrate on pacing without the interruptions of a conventional road route. The Leeds 5K attracts individual runners and club athletes of a range of abilities, while its consistent course and regular format make it particularly useful for runners looking to track improvements in their 5K times.
