Jane Tomlinson's Run For All

Run For All is part of the lasting legacy of the late amateur athlete and fundraiser Jane Tomlinson CBE. Jane, from Leeds, made headlines around the world by taking part in a series of incredible endurance events - despite being diagnosed with an incurable cancer. The mum-of-three defied her devastating diagnosis to complete challenge after challenge – from marathons and triathlons to ironman contests and cross-Europe cycle rides. 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 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. Run For All's events programme features a number of 10Ks – Leeds, York, Burnley, Nottingham, Middlesbrough, Bury and Sheffield – and the Marathon Series, which includes the Leeds Half Marathon, Sheffield Half Marathon, Derby Half Marathon, Yorkshire Marathon and Yorkshire 10 Mile. Many of our events include team and corporate challenges - if you are a company, group of colleagues or friends looking for a new challenge, we have the event for you. Every year tens of thousands of people take part in our popular events – running for charity, for a personal challenge or just for fun. While we've changed since that first Leeds 10K – not least by growing significantly, Run For All's philosophy remains exactly the same; high-quality, great fun events for absolutely all abilities.
