Undulating
This race was cancelled due to bad weather. Steel City Striders organise South Yorkshire’s most popular 10km each year which takes place on the first Sunday in December. The event has grown in popularity from the first race in 1993 when 600 finished the race to recent years when the entry has had to be limited to around 3,000. Such is the demand for numbers that in each of the last 10 years the race has sold out ahead of time. Why is it so popular? Traditionally each finisher in the race receives a Christmas pudding for their efforts. Food and seasonal music are provided after the race. Of course, the route is not bad either. For many, the Percy Pud signals the start of the festive period.
AI Overview

The PERCY PUD 10K, held on December 3rd, 2023, in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is a well-established and popular event with a rich history dating back many years. Known for its festive atmosphere and often challenging conditions, it's a staple in the local running calendar. Participants can expect a friendly and community-driven race experience, often attracting a mix of seasoned runners and those looking for a festive challenge. The event is typically organized by a local running club, further cementing its roots within the running community. The Percy Pud 10K is renowned for its scenic, albeit often muddy, course. Runners typically navigate a multi-terrain route that includes a significant portion of off-road trails, woodland paths, and potentially some road sections. Given the December date, participants should prepare for wintery conditions, which can include cold temperatures, rain, and potentially snow or ice, leading to slippery and boggy stretches. This unpredictable terrain is part of the race's charm and a key feature that many runners look forward to testing their resilience against. The "Pud" in its name hints at the potential for a truly "puddly" experience, so waterproof trail shoes are highly recommended.
