Hollybank Eccup 10 - Peter Leach Fun Run

The Hollybank Eccup 10 - Peter Leach Fun Run, scheduled for July 7th, 2024, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, is a 10-mile road race with a significant community focus, celebrating its heritage as the Peter Leach Fun Run. This event is more than just a race; it's a well-established fixture that has grown from its fun run origins into a challenging yet accessible 10-mile course, attracting runners of all abilities. Participants can anticipate a friendly atmosphere, with a route that winds through the scenic surroundings of Eccup Reservoir. The typical terrain for the Hollybank Eccup 10 is predominantly road, offering a largely runnable course. While generally considered a road race, runners should be prepared for some undulation and potential variations in road surface, characteristic of a country route. The July date suggests the possibility of warm weather, so participants should plan accordingly for hydration and sun protection. The "Fun Run" aspect of its title indicates an emphasis on participation and enjoyment, making it a welcoming event for those looking for a scenic challenge with a supportive environment, rather than a strictly elite competition.
