This year the race is set to prove just as popular, with thousands expected at the annual event.

The starting gun will sound at 9.30am and the 13-mile route will take in much of south-west Sheffield including the entire length of Ecclesall Road and Ecclesall Road South.

Starting at Arundel Gate, runners will head along Charter Row and onto Ecclesall Road.

A sharp right turn will take participants onto Knowle Lane, then Ringinglow Road, Sheephill Road, Hathersage Road, Limb Lane and back onto Ecclesall Road South.

Runners will then run the entire combined length of Ecclesall Road South and Ecclesall Road to finish at the Peace Gardens.

We’ve delved into our archives to look back at photos of the half marathon from over the years – can you spot yourself or anyone you know?
