About the Event

Golden Acre Park in Leeds is set to host its highly anticipated summer evening relay race once again, returning for the 2026 season. Teams of three runners can compete together by entering one of several categories designed to accommodate various age groups and gender combinations.
The event offers a range of options including Male Open, Female Open, Mixed (with at least one male and one female runner), Junior Boys, and Junior Girls (all participants must be in School Years 8-12). Additionally, there are Vet categories for both men and women where all three runners must be aged 35 or older.
With a total of just 150 spots available, early entry is essential as the race consistently sells out. Online registration is mandatory; no entries will be accepted on-site during the event. Participants should note that eligibility requires affiliation with UK Athletics (UKA).
This relay through Golden Acre Park promises an engaging evening experience for runners and spectators alike, offering a scenic route around Leeds' vibrant park setting. Teams are encouraged to secure their spots early as this unique opportunity won't be available to non-UKA affiliated club members.
The race celebrates the spirit of teamwork and competition in a picturesque urban environment, making it an unmissable event for track enthusiasts across Yorkshire and beyond.

About Leeds

Learn more about the host city, Leeds.

Leeds is the largest city in the county of West Yorkshire and the third largest city in Britain, though its urban area size falls behind that of Manchester. Once a major industrial centre, the city today is better known for being the largest UK financial centre outside London, and for its impressive shopping, nightlife, universities and sports facilities. Leeds also has a growing cultural reputation, being home to many museums, restaurants and theatres, and a mixture of Georgian, Victorian, 20th and 21st century architecture.
