IN MEMORY OF
GARETH DUNN

Over 500 runners took part in the sixth annual Cookridge Community Run taking place on a beautiful sunny morning Sunday, 18th May.
Now a permanent fixture in the Leeds race calendar, this event attracts a diverse range of runners with many fundraising for the Cookridge Community Run Initiative.
Set up in 2019 to follow the fundraising legacy of local runner Gareth Dunn who passed away from Sarcoma aged 27, this year's event raised almost £15,000 for Sarcoma Research through Cancer Research UK whilst also supporting local community initiatives.
We are very grateful for our race partners Bannatyne Health Clubs and North Leeds Dental Implants and to all our runners, volunteers and supporters for making it a massive success once again. If you would like to get involved in this brilliant local event and want to become a corporate sponsor please get in touch with the race organisers at april@cookridgecommunityrun.co.uk. We are also looking out for stewards and marshalls to help at next year's event. Thanks to everyone who ran, gave and fundraised, you are a credit to our community and to the legacy that Gareth left us.

There are two runs – 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.
