Race for Life Leeds 5K is organised by Cancer Research UK and takes place at Temple Newsam in Leeds. The event welcomes participants of all abilities to raise funds for life saving cancer research, with runners, joggers and walkers encouraged to complete the course at their own pace in a supportive community atmosphere.
The single lap 5K route follows a mixture of grass, surfaced paths and woodland trails through the historic Temple Newsam estate. The course includes varying elevations, with a sustained uphill section adding an extra challenge while showcasing the park's attractive landscape and woodland surroundings.
Marshals and event staff help provide a well organised race day, with refreshments, toilets and parking available on site. The event welcomes dogs and pushchairs, offers wheelchair accessibility with assistance and creates a friendly atmosphere that brings people together in support of Cancer Research UK's vital work.
