Sheffield Half Marathon Sheffield, United Kingdom   Mar 23, 2025

A major event in the UK’s running calendar, the Sheffield Half Marathon attracts thousands of runners of all abilities and spectators to the city’s streets and raises many thousands of pounds for good causes.

With a city centre start and finish, the event boasts a super scenic route with stunning views of the Peak District for those who conquer the climb to Ringinglow.

And the race even incorporates a ‘triple test’ giving entrants a chance to be crowned ‘King of the Hill’ or ‘Queen of the Hill’ in a timed hill climb, triumph in a 10K largely-downhill sprint section and cross the finish line first to lift the Sheffield Half Marathon title.

The route starts in the heart of the city on Arundel Gate. Runners then journey along Ecclesall Road before taking a right turn up towards Ringinglow.

Then they run along country roads and on to the famous Norfolk Arms, where the route takes a left turn and offers superb views of the city of Sheffield and the Peak District.

Those views are then left behind as the course headed downhill to the outskirts of Dore, back to Ecclesall Road and on to the grand finish at the Town Hall.
