Sheffield Half Marathon 2026

Be part of something extraordinary and help support Hospice UK at one of the standout moments in the nation’s running calendar. The Sheffield Half Marathon is South Yorkshire’s largest event of its kind, and this year you can take on the challenge while making a real difference for people facing the end of life.

Thousands of runners of all abilities will line up in the heart of the city, each with their own story and each helping to raise vital funds for Hospice UK’s work across the country. With a buzzing city‑centre start and finish, you’ll be carried along by a wave of incredible community spirit as supporters cheer you out and welcome you home.

The route is famous for its beauty, taking you up towards Ringinglow with breathtaking views of the Peak District that make every step worthwhile. And for those who love a challenge, the event’s iconic ‘triple test’ offers the chance to shine: a timed hill climb, a rapid 10K downhill sprint, and the race to the finish for overall honours.

Join Team Hospice UK, run with purpose, and help ensure that compassionate end‑of‑life care is there for everyone who needs it.
