The Sheffield Mini and Junior Run 2026 is a fantastic way for children and young people to get active while supporting St Luke’s Hospice. Taking place on the same day as the Sheffield 10K, it’s the perfect opportunity for families and friends to be part of a big city running weekend.

By getting involved, you’ll be helping to raise vital funds for local hospice care, where every step and every penny raised goes directly towards caring for people across Sheffield with a terminal illness.
