Harriers take on the heat and hills for Round Sheffield Run
THE Round Sheffield Run once again delivered a fantastic weekend of trail running, with Rotherham Harriers participants taking on one of the region's most iconic off-road events across a challenging two-day format.
Combining woodland trails, parks, steep climbs and fast descents, the course offers runners a true taste of Sheffield's varied terrain while rewarding them with spectacular scenery throughout.
This year's event was made even tougher by hot and humid conditions, testing runners' endurance, pacing and hydration from start to finish. Whether competing solo or as part of a pair, everyone faced the same demanding combination of heat and hills, making every finish an achievement to be proud of.
The Harriers who took on the challenge were: Jem Tompkin – 1:38:14 (Senior Men), Martha Hazlehurst – 1:41:16 (Senior Women), Rebecca Marsden and Lindsay Whitaker – 2:20:42 (Female Pair), Michelle Eddison and Kelly Ling – 2:34:48 (Female Pair), Joanne Palmer – 2:37:47 (FV40), Andrew Rogers – 2:56:33 (MV50)
A Harriers spokesperson said: “A huge well done to everyone who represented the club over the weekend. From those racing for fast times to those taking on the challenge with a partner, it was another excellent display of determination, teamwork and club spirit.
“Congratulations also to the organisers, marshals and volunteers who kept the event running smoothly despite the soaring temperatures, helping make another memorable edition of the Round Sheffield Run.”
