Great South Run

AJ Bell Great South Run, held in Portsmouth on the south coast, is the world’s premier 10-mile race (with a 5k option). The flat, fast course starts and finishes on Clarence Esplanade and treats competitors to sea views and salty air, with vibrant crowd support and route entertainment. Since 1990, hundreds of thousands have finished, raising millions for charity as it marks its 35th year in 2025.

Runners receive a medal, exclusive finisher T-shirt, and goody bag; there’s an optional charitable-finisher tee and day-of photos. The Great Run app tracks progress and results, with the British Heart Foundation as official charity partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
