Recurring 5K races near Sheffield

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

York 5K (OCT '26)

The York 5K is a flat, five-lap road race held on the cycle circuit at the University of York Sport Village. The Even Splits series takes place monthly from February to November. Each race is limited to 200 runners and is designed for those seeking a measured 5K effort, free from road crossings, hills, or complex logistics. The course is suitable for fast running, wheelchair athletes, club races, and individuals monitoring their progress over time. Each runner is assigned a race number with an embedded chip, and results are texted immediately after finishing, with kilometre splits available the following day. Performances are recorded on Power of 10 because of the EA licence. Water, distance markers, and toilets are available. There is no bag drop, changing area, or showers. The finish-line tradition is straightforward: runners receive a chocolate bar.

York 5K Series October

The York 5K Series October race is an evening 5K run held at the University of York Sport Village Cycle Circuit. It begins at 7:30pm near the YO10 5FG postcode in York. This event is part of the EvenSplits York 5K races, a monthly series taking place from February to November. The course utilizes the Sport Village cycle circuit, providing a flat, fast surface as opposed to a road route through town. This design makes it suitable for runners aiming for a personal best, and the series offers local runners a consistent way to measure their progress throughout the season. Fundraising is available via GoFundMe, and previous results from the October race are published.

Rhino Run is a six-hour timed running event held near Skellingthorpe in Lincolnshire, located on Lincoln Road. Participants complete repeated laps to achieve their chosen distance, ranging from 5K and 10K up to half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances. The objective is straightforward: maintain movement within the time limit and accumulate laps. The course follows a flat out-and-back route along a disused railway line. It consists mainly of tarmac with a brief field section at the beginning and end. Each lap measures approximately 3.28 miles. The route is traffic-free and requires no navigation, making it suitable for runners seeking consistent pacing on a reliable surface.

RunThrough Tatton 10k & 5k October 2026

Tatton Park 5K & 10K October

The Tatton Park 5k & 10k races take place in October on closed roads within Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire. The 10K is held in October, with a 5K option included in the same event programme. Both races begin at 8:45 am from the park grounds near WA16 6QN. The course remains within Tatton Park, utilizing the internal roads before finishing back inside the grounds. It is fast yet undulating, offering runners a quick road race that is not completely flat. The races are accurately measured and chip timed, making them suitable for anyone seeking a clear 5K or 10K result.

Macclesfield Running Festival October 2026

The Macclesfield Running Festival takes place in October in Macclesfield, Cheshire, offering 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances. All races commence and conclude at the athletics track within Macclesfield Leisure Centre. They feature chip timing and are conducted on entirely closed roads, providing participants with a controlled road-racing environment instead of a park-style circuit. The courses are level, single loops that are professionally measured. They depart from the town and proceed onto country roads in the Cheshire area. Local bands perform along the route, aid stations are available to support runners, and spectators congregate in the communities along the way. Macclesfield Harriers AC also contribute to the event's operation. All finishers are awarded a medal, complimentary race photographs, and post-race items.

Brewers 5K & 10K

The Brewers 10K & 5K begins and ends at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium, making the football ground the focal point. This is a closed-road running event in Burton upon Trent, held in October, with the 10K commencing before the 5K. The race uses chip timing, features distance markers for each kilometre, and provides water stations along the route. The course proceeds through Stretton and Rolleston-on-Dove, offering open views of the Staffordshire countryside before runners head back to the stadium. RunThrough organizes the event in partnership with Burton Albion, and the race coincides with the club’s anniversary events. A past edition attracted over 1,000 participants, and the event is intended for club runners, those attempting their first 10K, 5K runners, Burton Albion supporters, and local families. Participants receive a themed medal, complimentary race photos, refreshments after the race, and items from partners at the finish line.

Leeds 5K (OCT '26)

The Leeds 5K is a monthly, traffic-free 5 km race held at the University of Leeds Brownlee Centre, taking place from February through November. It begins at 19:30 on a flat, three-lap road course with a 200-runner capacity, designed for those preferring a focused evening race over a large, busy event. The race is chip-timed, EA licensed, and open to wheelchair athletes. The process is simple: register beforehand, then collect or reuse a race number containing a timing chip, which can be kept for subsequent Leeds or York 5K races. Results are sent via text immediately after finishing, with mile splits available the following day, aiding in monitoring progress over time or competing against clubmates. Basic facilities include toilets and water, but no changing rooms, showers, or baggage storage. A small post-run tradition is receiving a chocolate bar.

Nottingham 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Semi-Marathon MoRun

The Nottingham MoRun takes place at Memorial Gardens Riverside on Victoria Embankment, featuring races of 1.5k, 5k, 10k, and a half marathon. As a November running event associated with Movember, the atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging participation from families, friends, and teams, often in costumes or headbands, with many running for a cause. The 1.5k Mini MoRun offers a chip-timed race for children, while adults can select from shorter runs up to a half marathon. The event benefits Movember, the charity focused on raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants can contribute through donations during registration or by creating fundraising pages via Movember or JustGiving. All race distances are chip timed, providing immediate results. Finishers are awarded a MoRun medal and a MoRunning headband, with refreshments available at the finish line. Merchandise, including t-shirts and running vests, can be purchased for those seeking the complete MoRunner appearance.

About 5K races in Sheffield

Sheffield Training Notes

Sheffield hosts 109 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Sheffield gives runners hills straight from the door, plus parks, woodland, and the Peak District edge when Z2 needs a view. Locals use Graves Park for steady laps, Rivelin Valley for softer miles, and Endcliffe Park to Forge Dam when Porter Valley feels right. The Neepsend loop works for intervals because it is about a mile and easy to repeat. Sheffield Running Club, City of Sheffield and Dearne AC, Hallamshire Harriers, Steel City Striders, Totley AC, Strideout, Scrambled Legs, and RunTogether groups all give you company. Sheffield Half Marathon anchors spring plans, and its route puts 300-400m of elevation into the first 10-12k. Hallam Chase keeps the fell legs honest.

Sheffield riders get their climbing legs quickly. Locals roll Endcliffe Park for a short city escape, follow NCN 67 and the Trans-Pennine Trail for longer base miles, and head west when the Peaks are calling. Sheffrec Cycling Club runs Saturday and Sunday club rides, plus Tuesday and Thursday night training rides. 7 Hills Cycling Club brings road rides, women’s rides, gravel series, and trips away from the edge of the Peak District. Winnats Pass gives the bigger effort, and the route takes 59km to stack up 1,009m of elevation. The Bradfield Hill Climb, Sheffield Grand Prix, Open Time Trials, and Monsal Hill Climb give the season its sharp end.

3°C. Summer runners use the parks early, then stretch long runs towards Damflask, Oughtibridge, More Hall Reservoir, and Broomhead Reservoir. Summer cyclists get big days on Stanage Edge, Ringinglow, Curbar Edge, Burbage Moor, and Winnats Pass when the lanes feel open. Winter changes the rhythm but not the point. Locals keep running cross-country, cyclocross, and singletrack when the ground is firm, dry, cold, or just damp but manageable. Winter temps sit around 0°C, so Z2 stays steady and kit choice matters.
