Gosport Half Marathon
The Gosport Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile, two-lap road race held on a largely flat, coastal course that includes a long stretch along the Lee-on-the-Solent promenade with views of the Isle of Wight. The course is led by cyclists and includes five water stations and live music from a Samba Drum Band at two points.
The event is organised by Gosport Road Runners as a Hampshire Road Race League fixture. The club provides over 100 marshals and, together with local youth groups, more than 200 volunteers support race-day operations. The race has a maximum field of 2,000 entrants and a waiting list is used when the race is full.
Race headquarters and the race village are at King’s Academy Bay House Sports Centre, Browndown Road, with changing rooms, toilets, supervised bag storage, refreshments and sports massage available. Main parking is on private land in Browndown Road with additional public car parks at Stokes Bay; parking capacity at the main car park is limited.
Key participant rules: entrants must be 17 or over; the course is not suitable for wheelchairs; push chairs and similar are not allowed. Race numbers are not posted and must be collected at Race HQ. Bone-conducting headphones are permitted; other audio devices are prohibited and may lead to disqualification. Every finisher receives a medal and a goody bag and individual and team prizes are awarded across age categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
