Our Mission - For every person in Sheffield to approach later life with independence, dignity, and a sense of wellbeing; and for Age UK Sheffield to be recognised as a vital part of Sheffield’s infrastructure in support of the needs of the city’s older people.

The Sheffield Half Marathon is the biggest fundraising opportunity for Age UK Sheffield in the year. We're looking for people to join our team of runners and raise money through sponsorship to help us continue the work we do in the local community. Age UK Sheffield is a completely local and independent charity which provides information, advice, services and resources to people aged 50 and over in Sheffield.

Information about the Sheffield Half Marathon can be found here: https://www.runforall.com/events/half-marathon/sheffield-half-marathon

The Sheffield Half Marathon starts at Arundel Gate and follows the route shown in this task request. There will be an Age UK Sheffield station in the Events Village with a team on hand to help and support you, and AUKS people along the way to cheer you on your way! With a city centre start and finish, a huge crowd of enthusiastic supporters will cheer participants out and back. The event boasts a stunningly scenic route with majestic views of the Peak District on the climb to Ringinglow. The race even incorporates a 'triple test' giving entrants a chance to be crowned Peaks Challenge winners in a timed hill climb, triumph in a times 10K downhill sprint section and cross the finish line first to lift the Sheffield Half Marathon title.
