Leeds Abbey Dash
Leeds Abbey Dash is a flat 10K in Leeds, UK, held each November. The classic autumn 10K — a fast out-and-back to Kirkstall Abbey where club PBs go to fall. Early November is 4-9C. Flat courses like Leeds's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
