The Sheffield half marathon begins at Arundel Gate in the heart of Sheffield city centre. The race will start at 9.30 am on March 26 - but runners need to get there early to prepare for the event.
The race office and baggage store will be open from 7.30am on race day. The official half marathon warm-up will start at 9.15am before the official start time at 9.30am. The first finisher is then expected to cross the finish line at around 10.35am.
The 13-mile route passes some of Sheffield’s most iconic landmarks including the Winter Gardens, Bramall Lane and the Botanical Gardens. Passing through the finish line, you’ll collect water and an energy drink to replenish and rehydrate, and your finisher’s goody bag with a medal and t-shirt to showcase your achievement.
