About this race
The Sheffield 10K starts and finishes on Arundel Gate in the heart of Sheffield city centre. From the start, the course heads out along Ecclesall Road before climbing towards Hangingwater and Endcliffe Park, one of the route's more challenging sections. Runners then continue through Bingham Park and the Sheffield Botanical Gardens, taking in leafy suburbs before turning back towards the city centre via Charter Row and Riverdale Road to finish close to the start line. The course runs entirely on closed, tarmac city roads and is best described as undulating, with a notable incline around the Hangingwater and Endcliffe Park section balanced by faster, flatter stretches elsewhere. Staged in partnership with Sheffield City Council, the event draws thousands of runners each year, with enthusiastic local crowds lining much of the route and a lively event village at the Arundel Gate start and finish.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
