Sheffield Half Marathon

Sheffield Half Marathon : event overview

The Sheffield Half Marathon takes place in Sheffield on Sunday 04 April 2027, with the start line at Arundel Gate and both start and finish located in the city centre. The route climbs to Ringinglow and offers views of the Peak District. The event includes a "triple test" with three timed components: a timed hill climb that determines Peaks Challenge standings, a timed 10K downhill sprint section beginning on Hathersage Road, and the overall half marathon result.

The field attracts thousands of runners and many spectators. Entrants must be at least 17 years old on race day. Event services include chip timing, a finisher medal, a goody bag and an optional finisher t-shirt. Water stations provide 330 ml bottles and recycling bins are placed at each water station. Pacers sponsored by Arla Protein will carry flags with target finish times.

Medical support is provided by fixed first aid stations near water stops, a first aid unit and recovery unit by the finish, and roaming first aiders in the Event Village. Baggage is stored in a designated area using a label from the race number. Photographs are taken by MarathonPhotos and a massage service is offered by Top Tier Physio.

The Event Village lists food and drink vendors and partner charities. Travel options include car, bus, rail/tram and bike; Castle Square tram stop is closest to the start. A Park and Ride network is recommended. Headphones are permitted only if bone conducting. Clothing left at the start is collected for donation unless placed in baggage. There is a zero tolerance policy for urinating outside allocated toilets which may result in disqualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
