About the race
The Sheffield Half Marathon is a large road race in Sheffield with a city centre start and finish at Arundel Gate. The event attracts thousands of runners and spectators and is described as one of South Yorkshire’s biggest events of its kind. Entrants must be 17 years or older on race day. The course offers scenic views of the Peak District on the climb to Ringinglow and includes a structured competition element called the triple test.
This gives runners a timed hill climb for the Peaks Challenge, a timed 10K downhill sprint section beginning on Hathersage Road, and a standard finish line result for the Sheffield Half Marathon title. Included for entrants are a finisher medal, chip timing, a goody bag and an optional finishers t-shirt. The event provides water stations with 330ml bottles and recycling bins at each station. Pacers, sponsored by Arla Protein, run with flags showing target finish times. Medical cover is provided with fixed first aid stations near water points, a first aid unit and a recovery unit by the finish, and roaming first aiders in the Event Village.
The Event Village hosts food and drink outlets and partner charities. Baggage is handled at a designated store using the label on the race number. Photography will be available from MarathonPhotos and official results are published after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
