With NO on-street parking in Headingley and restrictions in place to support residents, Park and Ride is essential if you want to travel to the event by car.
Road closures will be in place to facilitate the marathon route and vehicle access for non-residents will be restricted. We advise that spectators and participants plan journeys in advance and avoid driving into Headingley on race day to avoid any difficulties.
A selection of shuttle bus services are also available for spectators.
These services include:
- City Centre Shuttle Bus
- Stourton Park and Ride
- Elland Road Park and Ride
*Please note capacity is limited for all services and we recommend marathon participants book the early slots to ensure they arrive at the start line on time.
