North end of Avenue De Caen / Southsea Seafront, Clarence Esplanade, Portsmouth, PO5 3ST, United Kingdom
The AJ Bell Great South Run is a landmark 10-mile road race held on Portsmouth's Southsea seafront, offering a flat, fast course that passes iconic maritime sights including the Historic Dockyard and Spinnaker Tower. The event is aimed at a broad range of runners, from first-timers chasing a memorable finish to experienced athletes targeting a personal best, and is run with wave starts to manage different ability groups. The race weekend also includes a community 5k held on the Saturday, with event services such as baggage buses, official photography and a dedicated event app to support runners and spectators.
The Great South Run is a major fundraising platform for many charities and offers official charity places alongside standard entries, with charity partners providing specialist support and branded vests for fundraisers. Practical arrangements emphasised by the organisers include pre-event communications and an Event Guide released about a month before race day, race numbers and timing chips posted roughly four weeks in advance, and Park & Ride and local transport information to help attendees reach Southsea. The course and timetable are described as provisional on the organiser pages and subject to final confirmation in pre-event materials.
