Leeds Half Marathon 2027

Take on the Leeds Half Marathon 2027, one of Yorkshire's biggest and most popular running events. Starting and finishing in Leeds city centre, this iconic half marathon is known for its electric atmosphere, incredible crowd support and rewarding route.

Whether you're taking on your first half marathon or chasing a new personal best, every mile you run will help Terrence Higgins Trust support people living with HIV, improve sexual health and tackle HIV stigma across the UK.

We'll support you from the moment you sign up until you cross the finish line in Leeds.

When you join Team Terry, you'll receive:

• A free Terrence Higgins Trust running vest.
• Dedicated support with your training and fundraising from our friendly team.
• Ongoing support to help you achieve your fundraising target.
• The chance to connect with other runners supporting the same cause.
• Regular updates about our services, campaigns and impact.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, last year we were able to:

• Answer 12,591 enquiries through our free THT Direct helpline.
• Distribute more than 5,700 free HIV self-test kits to people who needed them most.
• Fund access to My Community for 500 people living with HIV, providing a safe online space for support and connection.
• Successfully campaign for opt-out HIV testing to be extended to 89 hospitals in England.
• Deliver more than 278 Positive Voices sessions, reaching over 21,000 people with real stories about living with HIV.

Our dedicated fundraising team is here to help you every step of the way. Whether you're new to fundraising or looking to maximise your impact, we'll provide advice, resources and encouragement throughout your journey.

While we encourage everyone to fundraise, we ask that you consider whether you're confident in reaching the £250 fundraising target before signing up.

Sponsorship targets help us cover the cost of charity places and continue delivering our vital services. If targets aren't reached, it can reduce the funds available for our work and leave us covering event costs.

Setting up a JustGiving page is quick and easy, and every donation goes directly to Terrence Higgins Trust.
