Course
Start and finish are in the city centre, with the start on Arundel Gate. The route climbs toward Ringinglow with views across the Peak District, then a long descent begins on Hathersage Road. This is a course for pacing by effort rather than by even splits.
Race-day weather
Early spring in Sheffield is often cool, and the higher ground near Ringinglow can be noticeably colder and windier than the city centre. Rain is common at this time of year.
About the race
The Sheffield Half Marathon is South Yorkshire's biggest half and draws thousands of runners into the city each spring. Its 'triple test' scores more than the finish: there are separate titles for the fastest timed hill climb and the fastest timed 10K downhill section.
