Leeds 5K (NOV '26)

Even Splits Leeds 5K races take place monthly from February through November, setting up shop each time at the University of Leeds Brownlee Centre. These chip-timed and EA-licensed events ensure accurate results that are instantly texted to you upon crossing the finish line. The following day, your mile splits will be available for review on Power of 10.
Each race offers a small yet thoughtful treat—a chocolate bar awaits at the finish line—to sweeten up your efforts. Whether you're racing solo or joining as part of a club, these races provide an excellent platform to track personal progress and challenge yourself against others each month.
Entry fees start at £10 for a single race, while bulk purchases in advance can save both time and money. When signing up for the first time, participants receive a unique timing chip embedded within their assigned number, which is valid not just for Leeds but also York 5K events. This number should be picked up from registration on your initial visit.
If you've held onto a previous RED 5K race number issued between 2020 and 2025, you can reuse it in 2026 by entering the number during sign-up. All participants are entitled to one complimentary replacement of their race number within a year; any additional replacements will incur a £4 charge.
These races offer runners not just a chance for personal bests but also an engaging community atmosphere and scenic university setting, making each monthly event a worthwhile addition to your running calendar.
