We are a loose group of runners of very mixed abilities, mostly based in the south east of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK.

Our activities emerged from a race organised in March 2019 in our wonderful Cat Lane Woods.

Since April 2020 we’ve organised a series of virtual races that we’ve called the Not the Cat Lane Canter Grand Prix. We’d love you to join in with our race series.

If you’re looking for ideas for runs or walks around Sheffield, feel free to make use of the resources you find here.

These virtual races have been designed for running in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals who choose to make use of the resources on this website take full responsibility for their own safety (routes, hazards, weather conditions, personal safety etc.) and compliance with the latest government guidance.

Most of us are on facebook –
