The Big Running Weekend

The Big Running Weekend is a family friendly running festival in and around the stunning Ecclesall Woods in south west Sheffield. It is a celebration of all things trail running with a strong fun, community feel. For 2020 we are increasing the number of entries as we have recruited more coaches to look after you and run the sessions. In addition we will be inviting more new brands to increase your opportunity to try new shoes, packs and equipment. Well why not, it’s all part of the fun.

As part of the Sheffield Festival of The Outdoors, the Big Running Weekend is based at the Ecclesall Woodland Discovery Centre and is organised by WoodRun in association with Sheffield’s leading independent running Store Accelerate.

The event offers a multitude of running activities that cater for both beginners and experienced runners. You can attend as many sessions, runs and workshops as you like, whether you fancy just one led run, or join us for the whole weekend.

“Thanks for an awesome Big Running Weekend. What a fantastic and inspirational series of events and workshop. I loved the films and speakers, sharing their many and varied experiences, expertise and adventures along the way.”
