COOKRIDGE COMMUNITY 10K
AND FUN RUN 19 MAY 2024
GARETH’S ‘OLYMPIC’ 10K CELEBRATES ITS FIFTH YEAR
Weaving its way around the picturesque Golden Acre park in north Leeds, this community organised trail run takes place on Sunday 19 May 2024 at 9.30am with a one-mile children’s Fun Run starting at 9.00am – and don’t forget, there’s a running shirt and medal for every 10K runner.
Following the route taken by the late British Paralympic athlete, Gareth Dunn, this year’s Cookridge 10K and Fun Run celebrates five years and over £50,000 raised for Cancer Research UK and local community causes. The race will, once again, be started by CBeebies and Strictly Come Dancing Star, George Webster.
Enter now and be one of 500 runners of all ages taking part and help us smash the £12,000 raised last year: “Cancer Research collection buckets and volunteers will be on hand at the start and finish to help us past this target” said Gareth’s dad, Lee Dunn, “and I will be at the Ralph Thoresby high school event car park, so do remember to bring £5 or perhaps £10 and pop it in my bucket!”
We really do need your help so please bring whatever you can and help us beat cancer.
There are two runs on Sunday 19 May 2024 – a scenic 10K trail race starting at 9.30am and a one mile Fun Run which starts at 9.00am. Both races start and finish at the Cookridge Village Scout Hall on Pinfold Lane, off Otley Road. Click here for more details of both runs and how to enter.
You don’t have to be a runner to be involved. We are looking for race marshals, car park attendants, first aid assistants and volunteers to manage traffic and water stations – maybe you just want to come along and cheer on the runners. Click here to find out how to help.
As a local, community-based event we could not run these races without sponsorship and support from local businesses.
Their generous financial support covers the costs of running the event, so all other monies raised go directly to charity.
