Among the competitors were two teams of clinical staff from the Northern General Hospital, who went head to head for the second time.
They raised money for Sheffield Hospitals Charity which spends more than £2 million each year to improve the lives of patients in Sheffield’s hospitals.
Isla Denoon, fund-raiser at Sheffield Hospitals Charity, said: “It’s fabulous to see them raising funds to help the patients that they care for.”
