The Sheffield Star Walk was an amateur walking race organised by the Sheffield Star newspaper and held in Sheffield, England. The event, open to amateur walkers, was run annually from 1922 until 2000 over a distance of 12–20 miles (19–32 km). It attracted up to 250,000 spectators and some of the entrants, such as Roland Hardy and John Warhurst, went on to represent their country at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Women were permitted to enter from the early 1970s. In the ‘90s, its popularity declined, and the event was cancelled, being last run in 2000. It was brought back for a one-off event in 2013 to raise money to erect the Women of Steel statue.
