A team of 10 runners represented the club at this great event, despite a few late and last minute changes to the squad due to illness and injury we still assembled a competitive crew to take on the 54 other teams.

On leg one we had Tom Ratcliffe and Sam Allin who ran their 10 mile ( 1789 ft Climb ) leg to Penistone Hill Country Park in 1:31:00 to give us a good start and 15th place at the changeover.

—Round Sheffield Run.
This one sounds a bit different to most events:
The Round Sheffield Run, trail running enduro is a unique creative “multi-stage” running event following the beautiful Round Sheffield route, a superb running journey linking some of the best trails and parkland. It would be a tough task to find anywhere in the UK that showcases these kind of trails & scenery within its city limits.
The 11 timed stages make up 20km of the 24.5km route.
The unique format breaks the route down into stages. Each stage being raced, and competitors receiving both results for each stage as well as a combined overall result.

Between Stages competitors have the opportunity to rest, relax, and regroup with their friends and refocus before the next stage begins. Competitors are allowed to walk or jog inbetween stages. The unique concept creates a supportive and unique social vibe. The race format also opens up the course to all abilities.
