In short: Fast flat course, vocal local support, make this a great race!
In full: Great run races are not cheap but they are well organised. A totally flat course in Sheffied would be impossible to find, but this is as flat as it gets. Wave starts stop any major bottlenecks, all in all an enjoyable morning out!

In short: Fairly flat except last 1km
In full: This was my first ever race and didn't know what to expect. Didn't feel out of place as a novice runner, so I would recommend it to others. There was a lot of bottle necks at beginning down to runners not being truthful about their times. Watch out for the very UPHILL finish, make sure you keep something in reserve! I will be back next year as I now have a PB to beat!

In short: A good participation event with a few challenging ups and down hillss
In full: Good opportunity to show case what Sheffield has to offer. Maybe not a pb course given the last few hills. Seemed to be a little more than 10k though (?)

In short: Nice flat course until the last km!
In full: Well organised race with a good atmosphere. The big screen at 5km was brilliant and really added to the occasion. Last kilometre is tough up hill but good fun!

In short: Fairly flat for Sheffield
In full: I was supprised at how flat this was for Sheffield. The course starts with a downhill for the first mile or so, flattens out until the last mile where it climbs uphill again. The hill at the end can be a bit of a killer!!!! Enjoyable all the same.
