About the Event

Start your running week with a uniquely social evening at Piglove By The River on Wednesday, 29th April 2026, a community-focused race set in Leeds's vibrant Climate Innovation District. Choose from a flat and fast 5km or a slightly longer 10km route, both following the scenic riverside Trans Pennine Trail for perfect personal best conditions. With a limited field of just 150 runners, the event maintains an intimate, friendly atmosphere where every finisher is rewarded with a celebratory craft beer from the host Piglove Brewery. The race HQ is the brewery's own beer garden, offering the ideal spot to relax on a picnic bench post-run, making it a true celebration of local running and brewing culture. Organized by Great Owl Running, this affordable event focuses on the essentials, with optional medals and tees to reduce environmental impact and keep entry accessible. Whether you're chasing a fast time on the smooth footpaths or simply enjoying a mid-week run with friends, this 2026 edition promises a laid-back, rewarding evening by the water in the heart of the city.
