Percy Pud 10k
The Percy Pud 10 km is an annual road race organised by Steel City Striders Running Club in Sheffield each December, typically on the first Sunday of the month. The race follows a slightly undulating out and back route through the Loxley Valley on the north west outskirts of the city, with few turns and a turnaround just past the 5 km point.
Entries have grown since the first race in 1993, rising from about 600 finishers to an entry limited to around 3,000 in recent years. The event often sells out in advance. Traditionally each finisher receives a Christmas pudding. Many of the race proceeds are donated to local charities and community projects.
Practical information given to entrants includes that race packs are posted to the address supplied at registration and that entry transfers are managed in advance of the race. Runners must pin their race number to the front of their clothing without cutting or folding it and write emergency contact details and any medical conditions on the back. There is a drinks station just after the turnaround and water at the finish. Small changing cabins are provided for baggage but they are unstaffed and valuables should not be left unattended. Prizes are awarded after the race in age categories and are presented inside the event marquee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
