Sheffield Half Marathon: 10 pictures taking a look back at the city's marathons and fun runs through the years

This Sunday sees the Sheffield Half Marathon – South Yorkshire’s biggest event of its kind with thousands of runners of all abilities set to take part raising thousands of pounds for many great causes.

The city hosted a full marathon up until 2003. We’ve been taking a look through the archives for pictures of various races and marathons through the years.

Sunday’s race starts and finishes on Arundel Gate, with a circular route around the city, heading up Ecclesall Road towards Ringinglow and coming back towards Endcliffe Park.

Spectators will be able to watch from the start and finish line, as well as make the most of the festivities and find out more about the charities being supported at the Event Village.
