If you were inspired by the PlusNet Leeds half marathon on Sunday, there are more opportunities to take on a charity race in 2016 by joining our Run with the Rhinos team.
10 runners from the Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Run with the Rhinos team took to the streets of Leeds on Sunday with over 8,000 runners for the Leeds Half Marathon, all helping to help raise money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation.
Despite 23 degree heat on the day, all Run with the Rhinos runners completed the course in under 2 hours 40 minutes, but as important, all raised money for Leeds Rhinos' official charity to support the running of life changing community-based projects across the city.
The event, in it's 31st year, was the first of seven events in the Run with the Rhinos charity racing calendar this year, with the Asda Foundation Leeds and York 10k events in July and August, the PlusNet Yorkshire Marathon in October and new to the programme this year, the Urban Trail Runner Leeds series throughout the summer.
Leeds Rhinos Foundation still have charity places available for all of the above events, including the Asda Foundation Leeds 10k in July and the sold out PlusNet Yorkshire Marathon and would like to urge anyone interested in doing a charity race and raising money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation to join us today.
A huge thank you to our Leeds Half Marathon runners and congratulations on your times.
