🎃 Haunted Hills & Chilling Trails Await!

👻 Join us on Thursday, 30th October for our Halloween Special Run—a frightfully fun 10K social run through the eeriest corners of Mosborough and Eckington.

We’ll be passing some of the area’s most haunted hotspots, with regular meet-up points to regroup, share ghost stories, and catch our breath (if the spirits let us!).

🕯️ Bring a torch. Bring your courage.

Dare to run with us… if you’re brave enough.

On Saturday 4th October, the 2025 edition of the legendary 50-mile Round Rotherham Run took centre stage — a self-navigated trail race winding through the stunning South Yorkshire countryside, complete with hills, woods, and freshly ploughed fields.

As reigning mixed team champions from 2024, the Kestrels faced a formidable challenge this year. With injuries affecting several runners, defending the title was never going to be easy. But true to form, the Kestrels rose to the occasion, fielding three determined and competitive teams — each with eyes firmly set on the finish line at Manvers.

🕒 After months of rigorous training and route practice, the Kestrels Rockets mixed team stormed across the finish line at 2:26pm, clinching 1st place in their category and 2nd overall. Their blistering time of 6 hours 26 minutes shaved over 10 minutes off last year’s winning mark — a phenomenal achievement!

🌧️ The day was a true test of endurance and teamwork, with runners battling wind, rain, logistical puzzles, car hiccups, and of course, plenty of mud. But the spirit of the Kestrels shone through, turning adversity into triumph.

🙏 Huge thanks go out to all runners, supporters, and especially to Andy and Sara — the masterminds behind the scenes who took on the monumental task of organising and coordinating the teams. Your efforts made the magic happen.

🍻 True to tradition, the day wrapped up with a thorough (and well-hydrated) debrief at the British Oak in Mosborough — because improvement never sleeps!

Tuesday’s run, is likely the final Guest Run this year. So it’d be great to see as many of you there as possible.

The start/end point is Kiveton Park Train station car park.

The best place to park is The Station Pub across the way. Their postcode is S26 6NP. Sadly the kitchen won’t be open. The route is 6.5 miles long

Kate will be leading a shorter sub-5 mile route. So anyone not wanting to do the full route, has a shorter option.

Run start at 6.30pm as usual.
