South Yorkshire’s biggest half marathon is returning on Sunday 29 March. The event welcomes thousands of runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities to go on the most scenic and rewarding routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
City of Sanctuary, a local charity thriving on making Sheffield a welcoming and supportive city to people seeking asylum and refugees have launched Live Together, Run Together to give amateur runners from Sheffield and those who experienced asylum a chance to take on the Sheffield Half Marathon as a community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe Rowley, founder of Live Together, Run Together said: \u201cWe wanted to make the Sheffield Half Marathon accessible to people who were previously excluded from it because of cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Most importantly we wanted to create a community of runners where locals and arrivals to our city could mix, train together, and take on the challenge of the Sheffield Half together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But setting up this was far more challenging than I expected and this was mainly due to realities of the asylum system itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
