People are being urged to 'plan ahead'
Leeds City Council are urging people in Leeds to 'plan ahead as the city gears up for one of its biggest ever sporting events.
Leeds City Council and Run For All have been working hard over recent months to make sure residents and visitors alike are aware of the disruption they may face on the city’s roads on May 14. And, as the countdown continues to the event, the organising team has now reminded people that a little advance planning will go a long way when it comes to making journeys around Leeds on race day.
Closures are scheduled to kick in from 7.30am elsewhere in Headingley, 8am around Lawnswood, 8.30am around Adel and Bramhope and 9am around Otley and Pool in Wharfedale. Councillor Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council’s deputy leader and executive member for economy, culture and education, said: “The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon is set to be a wonderful occasion for the city and we are working hard with Run For All to make sure it is the best day possible.
Tristan Batley-Kyle, operations director at Run For All, said: “For an event of this scale, significant road closures will be required. We are working in partnership with Leeds City Council, emergency services and multi-agency planning groups to make sure the event is operated safely and securely.
