Sheffield Half Marathon 2023: See the full route runners will take through the city including Ringinglow Road

The Sheffield Half Marathon is drawing near, which means participants will soon be preparing to take in the city’s many attractions while racing across the city. Known for its hilly and tough course, the 13.1-mile route however remains popular among races who return year after year.

The chip-timed event begins and ends in the city centre and features a lovely route with views of the Peak District on the ascent to Ringinglow. The race even includes a ‘triple test’, which comprises a timed hill climb, a 10K downhill sprint part, and crossing the finish line first to win the race.

Not only will the runners have to beat their personal best, but they will also have to do so while climbing up to 350 metres in the first five miles. Yet, Sheffield’s course features lovely landmarks along the way, and runners frequently praise its route selection.

Every year, the runners will work together to raise funds for a variety of worthy causes, including the Jane Tomlinson Appeal,Sheffield Hospitals Charity, Sheffield Age UK, Cavendish Cancer Care, Macmillan Cancer Support, St Luke’s, Snowdrop Project, The Children’s Hospital Charity, and Sheffield Futures, among others.

The race will start and finish on Arundel Gate, with a race start time of 9.30am and the event will require the closure of roads and road junctions as well as the suspension of a number of Traffic Regulation Orders between 4am and 4pm on Sunday, March 26. Here’s everything you need to know about the route.
