Sheffield Half Pint Marathon

The Sheffield Half Pint Marathon 2026 is a month-long celebration of beer, art, and independent spirit, running throughout September. Participants are invited to explore 26 of Sheffield’s finest pubs, taprooms and bars – plus a few surprise bonus stops along the way.

More than just a beer trail, the marathon highlights the creativity and community that make Sheffield unique. From local breweries and independent venues to art, music, and culture, it’s a showcase of everything that gives the city its character. This year, the festival is partnering with a local brewery to craft a special limited-edition beer exclusively for the marathon, adding an extra reason to raise a glass. Proceeds support Sheffield Mind, making it a celebration that benefits both people and place and cementing its place as one of Sheffield’s most distinctive annual events.
