The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon just around the corner, and whether you’re a participant, heading over to cheer on loved ones or wanting to stay clear of the areas, we’ve got all the road closures you need to know about.

Sunday 14 May will see more than 12,000 runners are set to take part in the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon.

The event, organised Leeds City Council and the not-for-profit sporting events company Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, will see money raised for charitable causes near and far, including the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and a Leeds Hospitals Charity appeal to build a Rob Burrow Centre for MND.

Leeds City Council has advised everyone to ‘plan ahead’ as there will be plenty of road closures and diversions throughout the day.

The marathon will start and end at Headingley Stadium, with runners a route through Woodhouse Moor, West Park, Adel, Bramhope, Lawnswood, Pool in Wharfedale and Otley. The Leeds Half Marathon, also taking place on the same day uses much of the same route.

As the marathon starts and ends at Headingley Stadium, road closures on St Michael’s Lane in Headingley will be in force from 4am on the day of the event and are due to be lifted by 6.30pm.

This will be followed by a string of closures from 7.30am elsewhere in Headingley, 8am around Lawnswood, 8.30am around Adel and Bramhope and 9am around Otley and Pool in Wharfedale.
