After leaving London Road, runners will run up Cemetery Road onto Summerfield Street and then join Ecclesall Road , where runners will be travelling in both directions. The turnaround point will be near Hunters Bar Roundabout.

Runners will return to the city via Devonshire Green, past the Town Hall, on to Norfolk Street then out of the city centre past Ponds Forge on their return to Attercliffe. Runners will enter the Don Valley Bowl via Terry Street and then run on the grass to the finish.
