Why Get Involved?
1. Challenge yourself – Run or Cycle for a cause
Races for All Levels – from young runners to experienced athletes, there’s a challenge for everyone!
From city 5Ks to half marathons across the hills of South Yorkshire, our Sheffield events are open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser or a seasoned athlete, there’s a challenge with your name on it.
2. Make a real difference to Sheffield patients
Support Royal Hallamshire Hospital and Sheffield Children’s Hospital – helping young patients and adults battling blood cancer across South Yorkshire.
Your fundraising supports dedicated clinical research nurses at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, giving blood cancer patients across South Yorkshire access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach. At Sheffield Children’s Hospital, our funding forms part of the ATICUS Network, bringing world-class paediatric blood cancer research to young patients in the Steel City.
