Leicester 5k Running Events

While this page focuses on Leicester 5K races, RunThrough hosts running events across the UK in a wide range of distances. Whether you're looking for a shorter challenge like a 5K or 10K, or training for a longer goal such as a half marathon or full marathon, you can explore all upcoming races by distance on our UK-wide pages, including 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon events.

Right here in Leicester, RunThrough has a fantastic selection of Leicester running events across the year. When you're ready to push the distance further, a Leicester 10K is a brilliant next step, or if you're aiming higher, a Leicester half marathon could be your next big challenge.

For runners based in or around the capital, we have a fantastic selection of London running events taking place throughout the year. You can filter by distance to find exactly what suits you, whether that's a London 5K, a London 10K, or something a little longer like a London half marathon.

Up in the North West, our Manchester running events offer a brilliant range of races for runners of all abilities. From a fast and fun Manchester 5K to a Manchester 10K, or if you're pushing your training further, a Manchester half marathon could be the perfect next step.
