This annually run race over a 3¼ mile-long course with 800 feet of climb, organised by Hallamshire Harriers and hosted by Hallam Cricket Club, takes place this Tuesday, 30th May.
Runners set off from Hallam Football/Cricket Club’s Sandygate ground at 8 pm, go down Coldwell Lane, Den Bank through the Rivelin Valley, and up Tofts Lane to Stannington Church gates, before returning by the same route.
This heritage-related event goes back as far as 1862.
