Meersbrook Park, Sheffield 20-21 June 2026, noon to noon 

 

Thank you for coming to the sign up page for small park BIG RUN. If this is your first time - welcome - small park BIG RUN is a joyous community event and a celebration of Palestine. We are now in our 10th year and hope you will join us to celebrate.  If you are coming back for more - thank you! 

 

What is it?

spBR is a unique, fun, 24-hour running community challenge in Meersbrook Park, Sheffield we raise awareness of and funds for women’s education and children’s mental health in Palestine.  

 

This is a community challenge. So, this year, just as when we started ten years ago, we aim to have at least two people running, walking, jogging or wheeling round a 1km  circuit of Meersbrook Park at all times over 24 hours. In 2025 over the 24 hours we had between roughly 10 and 50 on the course at any given time! 

 

Who is it for?

It is called a ‘run’ but move how you like!  This event is for everyone and all abilities: we are committed to helping people get round if you need support to do so; you choose the distance and the time you start. Run as an individual, team or family. So whether you are a child, pensioners, joggers, ultra-runners, wheelchair users;  from those who have completed a few aided solidarity steps up to ultra runners completing the whole 24 hours.  

 

There is also a free one lap Fun Run for all but especially children on Sunday at 12.15pm after the 24-hour run is complete.
