Recurring Half Marathon races near Sheffield

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Potters ’Arf Marathon

The Potters 'Arf Marathon is a 13.1-mile half marathon held in Stoke-on-Trent. A walk and relay option are available for those not wishing to complete the full distance. The event also features junior races: a 1K for children aged five to 11 and a 2K for children aged 12 to 16. Approximately 2,000 participants are anticipated across all formats, including runners, walkers, relay teams, and families with children competing in shorter races. The race concludes in the city centre, where local support. The event raises substantial funds for local charities such as Douglas Macmillan Hospice and The Alice Charity.

Lincoln Half Marathon

The Lincoln Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile road race in Lincoln, starting at 9:30 am from the Lincolnshire Showground, postcode LN2 2NA. Run For All organises the event, and the race is open to runners of all abilities, not just club or fast runners. The route leaves the showground and heads into the heart of Lincoln, passing Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral. The event supports Lincoln City Foundation, which works across Lincolnshire on physical, social, and mental wellbeing. Fundraisers can earn a free place by raising at least £100, receive a branded running top, and get two Lincoln City match tickets if they raise £250.

Manchester Half Marathon

The Manchester Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile road race in Manchester, run on closed roads through Greater Manchester. It is the largest half marathon of its kind in the North West, with over 10,000 runners on the route. The race suits first-time half marathoners, regular club runners, and anyone chasing a personal best, because the course is designed to be quick and approachable rather than hilly or technical. The route starts around the M16 0RP area and finishes at Old Trafford, home of Lancashire County Cricket Club. Finishers receive a medal, and many runners use the day to raise money for The Christie, a Manchester cancer charity. Charity entries usually come with a small entry fee and a fundraising target, so the field includes plenty of people running for patients and research as well as for their own time goals.

Congleton Half Marathon

The Congleton Half Marathon is a 21.1 km road race in Cheshire, starting at 09:00 on Somerford Lane near Back Lane Playing Fields. Race HQ is at Black Firs Primary School, a short walk from the start, facilitating a straightforward transition from check-in to the start line. The route covers closed roads, quiet lanes, and countryside surrounding Congleton. Every mile is marked, and water stations are provided. Marshals will guide runners at key points and offer encouragement. Chip timing, complimentary race photos, a themed medal, post-race refreshments, and an event village with food and drink define this local Cheshire half marathon.

RunThrough Congleton Half Marathon

Somerford Lane lends this event a distinctly local character, with the start situated near Back Lane Playing Fields and Race HQ a brief walk away at Congleton High School. The RunThrough Congleton Half Marathon is presented as the “return of the Congleton Half Marathon,” and it feels like a traditional Cheshire race rather than a large-scale city event. Anticipate a simple race morning: proceed from HQ to the start, find your place among the runners, and follow the well-marked course. The atmosphere is described as “welcoming,” suited for participants who prefer a familiar race structure, local points of interest, and minimal ceremony before the start.

Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k October 2026

The Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k is an October trail-running event held at Carsington Water, offering participants a choice between the half marathon or the 10k distance. The half marathon begins at 9:30 AM, with the 10k starting at 10:00 AM, structuring the day around two distinct races within the same reservoir-side location. The course follows undulating trail paths around Carsington Water, rather than a flat terrain. Kilometer markers are placed along the route, and event staff offer encouragement to runners en route to the finish. Entry includes water, post-race refreshments, and a themed medal.

Carsington Water 10K & Half Marathon October

The Carsington Water 10K & Half Marathon takes place in October at Carsington Water, offering both 10K and half marathon distances. The courses utilize rolling paths encircling the reservoir, meaning participants will encounter consistent elevation changes rather than a flat road race. The course is marked with kilometre signs and provides participants with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape as they complete the circuit around the water. Volunteers are stationed along the route to support runners, and entry includes water, a themed medal, and post-race items.

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.

About Half Marathon races in Sheffield

Sheffield Training Notes

Sheffield hosts 101 Half Marathon 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.
