Leeds Half and Leeds 10K Postponed to the 5th September 2021

The following message was sent to participants in the 2020 Leeds 10K & Leeds Half Marathon on 17th March 2021.

Dear Entrants,

2020 didn’t quite go to plan for events but we are hoping to give events every chance of taking place in 2021 following the UK Government’s latest announcement regarding the easing of lockdown.

We know many of you have been eager to know whether both the Leeds Half Marathon and the Leeds 10K will be able to take place this year as planned and we'd like to thank you for your patience. Over the past few months our team have been busy working alongside Leeds City Council to ensure we can give you the entrant, that much longed for finish line feeling this year.

And so, we are pleased to announce the wait is over and today we can confirm that the Leeds Half Marathon and Leeds 10K will take place in 2021 but on the postponed event date of Sunday 5th September.

Whilst the UK’s COVID cases continue to fall and more and more people are being vaccinated in the UK, like many events we need to proceed with caution over the coming months and so the decision to postpone both events to September has been taken to give you every chance of standing on the start line this year. 

Yes, there will be alterations to the event due to Covid and possible social distancing requirements but prior to the event we will write to you to fully explain what to expect on race day. 

We hope by postponing to September, this will also allow you additional time to train across the summer and enjoy training again with friends, running clubs and family as lockdown eases over the coming month.

What happens now…

• All Leeds Half marathon and Leeds 10K entries will automatically be transferred to the new event date in September.
  
  
• We will email all entrants two months prior to the event to confirm the event will be going ahead as planned.
  
  
• When you receive this email in July, if you are unable to make the new event date you will be given the option to transfer to another event.
  
  
• If you have an entry into both the Leeds Half and the 10K, then you will be contacted in July to confirm which event you wish to run in 2021 and which you would like to be deferred to 2022.
  
  
• Full refunds are not available due to the postponement of the event as per our terms and conditions.
  
  
• Please note, no amends to entries will be made until July.

We hope you can understand our reasoning for the postponement and we look forward to seeing you all on the start line later this year because like you we have missed that event day feeling.

On behalf of all the Run For All Team can we thank you for your continued support and patience.
