Sheffield Running Events

Whirlow Hall Farm, located in the beautiful Sheffield suburb of Whirlow, is proud to host the Whirlow 10K Trail part of the Dig Deep running weekend.

Proceeds from the 10K race go directly to support our work with children across South Yorkshire. Whether its developing a healthy relationship with food, seeing an animal for the first time or helping to get their lives back on track. We help thousands of local children and young people to raise their aspirations and improve their life chances. We believe every child, whatever their background or circumstances, deserves an opportunity to learn and develop to their full potential. With your support, our team strives to provide access and opportunities for all children here in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.

The individual event will hold six categories Senior Male, Senior Female, Veteran Male, Veteran Female, Male over 50 and Female over 50.

The UTPD is a tough event which covers some of the most beautiful and challenging scenery in the UK. At around 60 miles the route takes in some of the finest trails and climbs in the Peak District. The route has roughly 3222 metres of ascent and whilst there are no monster climbs the continued hilly nature of the course earmarks this race as a tough one to complete.

Please note that the UTPD is a qualifying race (4 points) for the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc
