Take part in the 2025 Great South Run!

Join one of the UK’s most iconic 10-mile races, on Sunday, 19th October 2025, set along the stunning Southsea seafront in Portsmouth. Each year, thousands of runners take on this fast and flat course — and this year, you can be one of them, running to support people affected by oesophageal and gastric cancers.
