Such a superb Sheffield welcome! So calm, yet exciting from start to finish. Hilly first 5 km but with a wonderful decline all the way almost to the end. Loved it, loved it, loved. Mark W

This is my all time favourite race because it’s so challenging on the long uphill sections and then immediately becomes infinitely easier once you head back down hill... you’ve got to apply the brakes and control your descent so it’s a bit of a mental battle as well as a physical battle from start to finish. Wayne F

Thank you for your professionalism, enthusiasm and organisational skills in putting on this event. We had a fantastic day out, everything was clearly signposted and marked so we had no problems finding things. A brilliant day out and a PB too. Paul N

This is a great event to take part in seamlessly well organised by the Run for all team and with fantastic local support all along the route. Lynn F

This was my first ever organised 10k and it was a blast. Very well organised, great course that was clearly marked and the support from the Marshall and crowd was immense. I just had the best time with the atmosphere and the spirit of togetherness. Thank you. Simon S
