Leeds - Rock up n' Run is a laid-back, training-focused event that starts and finishes at the canal-side Rodley Barge on the western edge of Leeds. The route follows flat sections of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath, giving a steady and predictable surface for tempo efforts, long aerobic running or recovery sessions. Runners pick their distance on the day, with the 10K setting off at 18:45 and the 5K at 19:00, so the evening slot fits neatly around a working day. Entry includes a finisher medal, drink and nutrition stations on the route and bag drop, and the whole thing is run with simple organisation and a friendly community atmosphere rather than formal race pressure.
