Event Information
A major event in the UK's running calendar, the Sheffield Half Marathon is South Yorkshire’s biggest event of its kind.
Thousands of runners of all abilities will be taking part, raising many thousands of pounds for numerous great causes.
With a city centre start and finish, a huge crowd of enthusiastic supporters will cheer participants out and back. The event boasts a stunningly scenic route with majestic views of the Peak District on the climb to Ringinglow.

Sustainablity
Keeping Sheffield green
We are committed to keeping Sheffield green and we understand the importance of doing our bit for the environment. Bins will be provided across the event site and we urge people to use the facilities provided.
It is important that we leave the course the way we found it. Recycling bins will be provided on course at each water station and we ask that you use them. If you want to hand on to your water beyond the provided bins, please pass any litter to your nearest marshal.
Let’s work together to Keep Sheffield green and encourage other runners to do the same.
