PBs, Padel & Possibly Pudding – Wrapping Up Summer with Style
From race day buzz to Peak District rambles, this month’s been a reminder of what makes SBR tick: people showing up for each other in all sorts of ways. Let’s catch up. 👟🍁
🏃♀️ 10K Crew – Full Streets, Full Hearts
We had a brilliant turnout for the Sheffield 10K – around 20 of us turned up to run, support, or just soak up the atmosphere. Whether you were chasing a time, helping someone else get round, or simply enjoying being part of the crowd - you made it matter.
🎄 Winter Races Incoming – Percy Pud & More
The Percy Pud and Winter SBR Race launches created a bit of a ticket scramble…selling out faster than you could say ‘Christmas Pudding” - some of us were lucky, others are still hunting, if we find any, we’ll post in the race chat!
💪 Rory AKA Red King Crowned Sheffield’s Strongest Man!
No big deal… Rory just WON Sheffield’s Strongest Man. 💥
The event on 7 Sept was full of big lifts, bigger cheers, and even bigger community spirit. A huge shoutout to everyone who came along to support - it meant a lot, and it showed.
🏃♂️ PBs, Comebacks & Community Wins
September was full of stand-out moments across the crew:
New PBs hit
Races paced
Fundraising milestones smashed
And support shown at every level
Special mentions to:
🟣 Farrah and Paul, who completed a 75K ultra-distance event—proof that this community supports bold goals, however big or small.
🟣 Mack, who completed his first run in five years after learning to walk again following injury. Absolutely inspiring.
Whether you’re doing your first 5K or an ultra, we’re with you.
🎾 Padel Takeover + New Kelham Courts
Another month, another SBR x Sheffield Business Padel takeover - rackets were swung, shots were dramatic, and tactics were questionable. Just how we like it.
Bonus news: Club de Padel has opened in Kelham! Safe to say it won’t be long before we’re trying it out.
Also: shoutout to those who joined the 24-hour Padel-thon for Weston Park. Huge energy, even huger effort. 🫶

🚶♂️ Walkers Take on Bleaklow & the B29 Crash Site
This month’s highlight for the Business Walkers was a stunning Peak District route through Bleaklow Head, Higher Shelf Stones, and the haunting B29 Overexposed crash site.
Our Monday walks from Kelham (16:30 meet) continue weekly - perfect for a post-work stroll, reset, or ramble.
Check the “Walkers” section of the WhatsApp for upcoming routes.
