Jeffrey Shaw Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Just a reminder re road closures: from City Centre all the way up Ecclesall Road/Ecclesall Road South, then up Ringinglow Road, round to Dore, and back via Ecclesall Road South. They'll begin early on Su and are usually lifted after some time in the afternoon.

It's an event that makes many thousands of pounds for charity, every year. People commit to it to help others, and improve their fitness and mental health. It's a few hours, once a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Don't see why it's necessary to close off a city centre for a fun-run when there are lots of suitable parks both local and national within a short distance of travel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to do laps and also a space issue. Dont think any half or full marathon anywhere does this tbf. Its a Sunday morning with plenty of notice. Plus its not an entire city centre.

Why does Endcliffe always have to suffer the burden of the society of bad parking on their day out, and the associated burden of lots of sweaty people adding to the carbon budget of S10?
