Organisers of the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon have defended its £60 entry fee, after one councillor suggested it may be a “barrier” to disadvantaged communities.
But she added: “My concern is the cost of it. We’re talking about tackling poverty and inequality. How can people who are not as privileged as ourselves take part in such a sport? A Run For All spokesperson said: “The entry fee for the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon is £60 which compares very favourably with other events of similar size and scale such as the Great North Run, the Manchester Marathon and Brighton Marathon as examples. To date we haven’t received any negative feedback from the public as to the cost of entry.
