Bupa Junior Great Yorkshire Run 2010 Course

The Bupa Junior Great Yorkshire Run 2.5km route will provide some great sites to pass around Sheffield City Centre. Starting on Arundel Gate at the junction with Norfolk Street, runners initially head north onto the High Street, down Commercial Street towards Ponds Forge before doubling back into town. After passing the famous Crucible Theatre and running south along Arundel Gate, a hairpin turn will take competitors into Surrey Street and past the newly refurbished Tudor Square and the Winter Gardens. The course then turns left and live music greets runners as they skirt the Peace Gardens and pass the famous Town Hall before a fast final 200 metres down Norfolk Street to the finish line.

Go bananas and help beat blood cancers!

This year Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is the official charity for the Bupa Great Junior and Mini runs.

The charity's running team is called the Banana Army after their bright yellow shirts - and it's all about having fun and doing something really positive to beat blood cancers.

Why not lace up your trainers and join the Banana Army? Everyone is welcome. What's more, every Banana Army runner receives a fab yellow shirt and an inflatable banana.

You can run with TV stars too! Eden Taylor-Draper, Emmerdale's Belle Dingle is part of the Banana Army and she will be starting the Bupa Junior and Mini races and running at events across the country too. And you'll meet other Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research celebrity runners who are sponsored by TV Times!

Leukaemia is the most common form of cancer in children. Thanks to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, nine out of ten children now survive the most common form of this cancer.

Join the Banana Army and go on the run to help beat blood cancers!
