Rob Burrows Marathon and Leeds Half Marathon

The 2026 Rob Burrows Marathon and the Leeds Half will see thousands of people run through the beautiful city of Leeds, finishing at the iconic Headingley Stadium.

We would love to have you take on the challenge to raise funds for Inspire North!

As the cost of living grows, more people are being pushed into insecure housing and mental health crises, and our services are becoming more important than ever.

By fundraising for Inspire North, you can help us continue to provide vital and life changing support, and help people to recover, grow and look towards a brighter future.
