A run in the country that starts in the city!
Now in its 24th year, the Eccup 10 is back with a new sponsor and charitable partner, Hollybank Trust! Last year’s course tweaks are retained including the faster finish straight, but it still takes in the rural closed roads in and around Eccup that make this Leeds most popular 10 mile road race! Abbey Runners will be making a donation to both Hollybank Trust and our charity of the year from the race proceeds and you can also support either or both by making an additional donation with your entry.
