Sustainablity

Keeping Leeds green

We are committed to keeping Leeds green and we understand the importance of doing our bit for the environment. Bins will be provided across the event site and we urge people to use the facilities provided.

It is important that we leave the course the way we found it. Recycling bins will be provided on course at each water station and we ask that you use them. If you want to hand on to your water beyond the provided bins, please pass any litter to your nearest marshal.

Let’s work together to Keep Leeds green and encourage other runners to do the same.

Headphones on event day

You may choose to wear bone conducting headphones as you make your way around the course.

We ask that volume is kept low to ensure you can hear the marshal's instructions, emergency vehicles and fellow competitors.

info Headphones

Please note that only bone conducting headphones may be worn during the race, and you may be disqualified if found to be using other headphones.

Our official headphone partner Shokz use bone conducting technology to ensure you can still hear your surroundings.
