Jane Tomlinson's Run For All

Description

Run For All is part of the lasting legacy of the late amateur athlete and fundraiser Jane Tomlinson CBE, who made headlines around the world by taking part in a series of incredible endurance events - despite being diagnosed with an incurable cancer. By 2007 her declining health meant she was unable to take part in any more extraordinary undertakings. However, using the money she raised on her epic American adventure, Jane was able to sow the seeds for the Run For All Leeds 10K - the cornerstone of what would become her continuing legacy.

Today that one run has grown Run For All into one of the UK’s biggest not-for-profit events companies, providing a fundraising vehicle for a huge number of local and national charities. Every year tens of thousands of people take part in our popular events - running for charity, for a personal challenge or just for fun. Run For All’s events programme features 10 Asda Foundation 10Ks - Leeds, York, Hull, Burnley, GEAR, Lincoln, Nottingham, Bury, Middlesbrough and Sheffield - Four half marathons including the Leeds Half Marathon, Sheffield Half Marathon, Derby Half Marathon and Hull Half. The Run For All programme finishes each year with the Yorkshire Marathon and Yorkshire 10 Mile.
