About the race
The Gosport Half Marathon is an annual half marathon organised by Gosport Road Runners and held under English Athletics rules as part of the Hampshire Road Race League. The event attracts over a thousand entrants and, when full, has reached the organiser limit of 2,000 runners. The club provides more than 100 marshals and, together with local youth groups, more than 200 volunteers support the event. The course is a scenic two lap route with a long stretch along the Lee on the Solent promenade offering coastal views of the Isle of Wight.
The route is described as flat and fast with five water stations and samba drumming at about the four and 10.5 mile points. Last year the top men finished inside 73 minutes and the top women finished inside 88 minutes; all times are recorded as gun time. Race headquarters is at King’s Academy Bay House Sports Centre, Browndown Road, Gosport PO12 2QX. Facilities at Race HQ and the Race Village include changing rooms, toilets, supervised bag storage, refreshments, a retail sports stall and sports massage.
Race numbers are not posted and must be collected from Race HQ either on the Saturday before the event or on race day. Every finisher receives a medal and a goody bag. The event is not suitable for wheelchair athletes. Entrants must be 17 or over.
Bone conducting headphones are permitted; other in ear or on ear audio devices are not allowed. There are no refunds or deferrals under the event terms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
