THe RSR
The Round Sheffield Run is the original multi-stage trail running enduro.
An original, unique, creative and social concept that brings all the best bits of running together into one exciting event.
A superb running journey linking some of the top trails and parkland Sheffield has to offer.
It would be a tough task to find anywhere in the UK that showcases these kind of trails and scenery within its city limits.
11 Individually timed Stages each with their own challenge and character make up 20km of racing over the 24.5km route.
The unique format breaks the route down into stages. Each stage being raced, and competitors receiving both results for each stage as well as a combined overall result. Plenty of opportunity for friendly competition!
Between stages competitors have the opportunity to rest, relax, and regroup with friends (new and old) and refocus before the next stage begins. Competitors can walk or jog between stages. The novel concept creates a supportive and friendly social vibe.
The race format also opens up the course to a wide range of abilities. The support round the course is also something special.
To top it all off a festival atmosphere at the end with draft ales, tasty food, and great DJ to ensures that everyone can celebrate in style.
Run as an Individual, Pair or even a Team with some top prizes to be won! Including beer!
Fancy yourself as an Elite? This years Elite wave has 250 runners going for top honours! See the entry form for the qualifying criteria.

The Story
The Round Sheffield Run was just an idea back in 2012. Taking some of the concepts pioneered in Rally Car racing and enduro style Mountain Bike racing, we have adapted this to the world of trail running, the event became a reality in 2014 for the first installment, and was incredibly well received. See some of reviews below and many more over on the facebook page.
The social vibe this format allows, makes for something a little special. Competitors can race in groups and regather on the recovery sections, as well as being able to race in a pair so you can encourage each other round.
11 stages allows for series of mini challenges, and no shortage of stories to be exchanged at the beer tent at the end.
The event has attracted participants from all over the UK. Many travelling a good distance and making a weekend of it in Sheffield.
Its a city which has been a little understated but has won numerous awards in the past years for best outdoor city in the UK. This event shows you some of the reasons why.
