Great South Run

The AJ Bell Great South Run is one of Europe’s most loved road races, offering charity runners the chance to take on a 10-mile challenge along the scenic Portsmouth and Southsea coastline, with inspiring sea views, live music and enthusiastic crowd support lifting you every step of the way.

Charity participants receive tailored support — including fundraising resources, running vests, training guides and motivational encouragement — helping you smash your goals while making a real difference for the families we support. With medals, finisher tees and that unbeatable sense of achievement waiting at the finish, the Great South Run turns every mile you run into meaningful impact.
