Every day Leeds Women’s Aid receives calls for support from women and families across Leeds. Behind every call is a story. Now, you have the chance to be part of those stories.
Following the success of last year’s Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, where our supporters raised an incredible £7,500, we’re excited to once again invite you to join #TeamLWA!
This year, we are offering charity places for both the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon and the Leeds Half Marathon 2026 – allowing you to take on a personal challenge that fits your goals, while making a meaningful difference.
Spaces are limited for both races and available on a first-come, first-served basis – so once they’re gone, they’re gone! We are offering places at a reduced fee, so don’t miss the chance to snap them up and raise funds for a life-changing local charity.
“Helping a charity focused on domestic abuse is very important to me. Spreading the word and raising money for Leeds Women’s Aid makes me feel enormously proud.”
