Run Clubs in Leeds

BOX Run Club is a free social running group organised by Box Bar, a hospitality brand with venues in cities like Leeds, Sheffield, Headingley, Manchester and others. The club brings together runners of all abilities for a weekly 5 km (approximately 3.1 mi) group run through the city streets or parks — followed by a social meetup at the BOX Bar (often with drinks and discounted offers). It’s designed to be inclusive and sociable rather than competitive, so everyone from beginners to regular runners can enjoy it.
