The Waverley Dash will be taking place again this year on 7th September 2025.
Entry is via SiEntries Only - https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=15996
Waverley Dash is 10km (approx.) trail race in the South East of Sheffield. Passing around the beautiful Waverley Lakes, located between Handsworth & Treeton, this fairly flat course is perfect for a Sunday morning race. The course is off-road, fully marshalled, around lakes and associated trails and fields, which can be muddy underfoot in wet conditions. We advise wearing trail shoes in wet weather conditions.
The route can be seen here: - Waverley Dash Route 2025
Race HQ is located at the side of the Lakes - Coord 53°22'40.2"N 1°21'45.4"W, what3words - summer.senior.riots

Previous Results
The Waverley Dash was first staged by the Roadhogs in 2014 and has been held annually since then, with a UK Athletics trail race permit, normally on a Sunday in Summer
The Club has sought to engage residents of the expanding new housing estate at Waverley which is only a mile or so from Handsworth and the Club’s base at Handsworth Grange Sports Centre. The Dash is well supported by Howarth Estates, the landowners of the estate, and their input enables a charity donation to be made annually following the staging of the event.
Originally the Dash was part of the annual Waverley Gala but it is now a standalone event.
Orginally the Dash comprised of two races, a 5k run around Lake Waverley which adjoins the housing estate and a 10k that takes in the Lake and then goes around Treeton Dyke, which has now developed into an attractive lake and open space.
As the estate has expanded we have had to make changes to the route. Recent years have seen around 100 runners, many from the Waverley estate, but also some runners from other local areas and local clubs.
The Roadhogs are very keen to continue to develop links with the residents of Waverley and the annual staging of the Dash is a key part of this work. We are also keen to maintain the very fruitful partnership with Howarth estates in order to promote the Dash as an important local event.
