A major event in the UK’s running calendar, the Sheffield Half Marathon, is just a couple of weeks away! Who's signed up? 🙋

This is one of the best attended Half Marathons in the country, attracting thousands of runners of all abilities to the city’s streets every year, raising thousands of pounds for great causes.

It's also one of the most scenic- with a route that starts and finishes in the city centre, but takes runners all the way out to the boundary of the Peak District National Park (so yes, it’s hilly!)

Becoming The Outdoor City

Sheffield is The Outdoor City and the UK’s leading destination for people seeking outdoor adventure, city culture and rural escapes.

We have a unique outdoor recreation offer due in large part to our natural topography. We are the only major city in the UK with a National Park within its boundary. Our rolling hills, rivers, deep valleys, reservoirs, and world-famous gritstone have lent themselves to a wonder of outdoor pursuits that are quite literally on the doorstep of a vibrant, exciting and cultural city.

In the past Sheffield has perhaps been too modest about this offer, despite being one of the city’s unique selling points. It has remained something that people familiar with the city most value but others are unaware of. In 2015 we launched a strategy that aimed to change that. We created The Outdoor City brand and brought together a community of supporters to help us promote, prioritise and protect the spaces, places and people that make us The Outdoor City.

The Outdoor City is a reason to live in Sheffield and a reason to play, work, study and raise a family here. It is a magnet for business and an aid to economic growth. It is a reason to holiday in or visit the city. And it is a route to conserve and maintain green space and improve health and well-being in the city by driving participation and more widespread engagement in outdoor activities. The Outdoor City isn’t a brand it is who we are. Come and discover.
