🌄SPUNCH FULWOOD, SHEFFIELD S10

Spunch! invites adventure seekers, families, and newcomers to Sheffield for an autumn evening filled with fun and friendly competition. This unique mini-adventure offers participants the freedom to choose their own journey through a mix of urban streets and countryside trails.
The event takes place at The Rising Sun pub in Fulwood, offering easy access via car or public transport from both the city center and university area. Participants can start anytime between 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM on October 1st, with various course durations available—60, 90, and 120 minutes—that you select based on your preference.
Using the MapRun app or a compatible device like a Garmin or Apple Watch, adventurers will navigate through over 60 SpunchPoints scattered throughout Fulwood’s streets, snickets, green corridors, and into nearby woodlands such as Porter Valley and Whiteley Wood. The course offers both urban exploration and rural beauty, with opportunities to enjoy the vibrant autumn colors during daylight hours.
The terrain varies from tarmac roads in town to off-road trails in the countryside. While there are hilly sections that challenge even seasoned runners, contour-dodging routes provide alternative paths for those seeking a less strenuous route. Participants must be prepared for potential darkness after sunset and should bring head torches and hi-vis gear if planning an evening adventure.
Dogs on leashes and families with children are welcome to join in the fun at this family-friendly event. On-site registration opens early, allowing participants ample time to plan their routes before setting off. The venue offers a warm welcome, complete with food and drink options for post-race celebrations or refueling during breaks.
