ARCHIVED RACE: Sheffield Varsity 10k @ South Yorkshire, UK, 25th March 2012

The Sheffield Varsity 10k is the first time that students, staff and alumni from The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are going head to head over 10,000m. There are two Universities in Sheffield and on Sunday 25th March 2012 there will be just one winner! Non-University runners are also very welcome.

The race will be supporting St Luke’s Hospice and at least £3 from each entry plus 100% of all profits from the race will go directly to the hospice to go towards the £4 million they need each year just to keep supporting people with incurable illnesses in Sheffield. If you would also like to make an additional donation to support their amazing work, please do so here – http://www.stlukeshospice.org.uk/support_us/Donate_online.htm

The 10km race starts at Don Valley Stadium and runners will complete a three lap route twisting in and around this world class facility. The course includes a couple of short sharp inclines but nothing compared to the hills in and around our fabulous city. You also get three opportunities to make the most of the springy super flat stadium during the race where there will be plenty of support. Full changing, shower, refreshment and spectator facilities available within the stadium.
