To help you feel prepared, confident and excited ahead of race day, we're inviting all registered participants to join us for the Leeds Abbey Dash Shakeout Run.
Leeds Abbey Dash Shakeout Run
Friday 27th November, from 6pm
Join our event partner, Up & Running Leeds, for a relaxed and social shakeout run ahead of race day.
Starting from the Up & Running store in Leeds city centre, participants will take part in a series of warm-up drills before setting off on a gentle 5km run along the canal towards The Tetley.
After the run, you’ll have the chance to unwind and chat with fellow participants over a drink at The Tetley, while enjoying the excitement and anticipation building ahead of the Leeds Abbey Dash.
Whether you're aiming for a PB, running for charity or simply looking forward to crossing the finish line, we'd love to see you there.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your place and join us as we count down to race day together.
