Thousands of runners from all over the country pushed themselves to their physical and mental limits.

The timed stages included going through Limb Valley, Ecclesall Wood, Chancet Woods, Graves Park, Meersbrooks and Brincliffe, with 600m of total vertical elevation.
Despite the single-digit temperatures that gripped Sheffield over the weekend, runners were all smiles as they arrived on Sunday morning, clad in trail shoes and a water bag strapped to their backs.
A runner from Bristol, Jarlath McKenna, dominated the male category as he crossed the finish line with his time of one hour and seven minutes.
