21 Co. Opening Early 14th May - Leeds Marathon

We’re going to be opening 21 Co. early on Sunday 14th May!

This is the day of the Leeds Marathon and Half Marathon, and we have at least 3 people running for Sunshine & Smiles - so we’re going to set up a cheer point outside the café, as the route will pass us twice (around miles 4 and 25 for the marathon, and around miles 4 and 12 for the half-marathon).

If you’d like to cheer on our runners from a great vantage point, we’ll be open from 8.45am. It’s likely that runners will start to pass us at about 9.15am.

We’d love for our Sunshine families to come along and help us wave our Sunshine & Smiles flags - and feel free to bring your own cheer “instruments”, such as cowbells! 

It makes such a difference to the runners to have that support, whoever they are running for!!
