1978   14 #1 Posted March 25, 2016 The Great Yorkshire Run in Sheffield never really caught on, and having lost Morrison's sponsorship they've moved to Harrogate for 2016, sponsored by Theakston's, on the 24th July. See; http://www.greatrun.org/great-yorkshire-run?utm_medium=social&utm_content=%28not-set%29&utm_campaign=great%20yorkshire%20run&utm_term=%28not-set%29&utm_source=facebook.com#a-new-event  After taking part in all 9 in Sheffield I've already entered for the Morpeth 2 Newcastle half Marathon option on 17th July instead, see; http://http://morpeth2newcastle.co.uk/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

philyyy   10 #5 Posted April 6, 2016 I liked it and thing it is quite poor of Sheffield to have not got their act together to keep it here. It get a bit desperate when the council was asking for organisers on Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Paolo Coopio   10 #6 Posted April 9, 2016 I think they are planning a new 10K here organised by same people that do the HM.  Hopefully a better route including some city centre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
