The legendary 10-mile running event is back for another year! All running enthusiasts aged 16+ are invited to participate in this unforgettable event taking place on Sunday, 18 October 2026.
You set off on the glorious seafront, breathing in the sea air, and run through history, passing iconic landmarks including the Historic Dockyard, HMS Victory, and Southsea Castle along with breath-taking views of the Isle of Wight.
Rowans Hospice has secured 70 bond places at a reduced rate of just £45. By booking a bond place, runners commit to raising a minimum sponsorship amount of £150 for Rowans Hospice. All money raised helps us continue to provide free, compassionate care and support to our patients and their families.
Once all 70 places have been booked, you can still book a place directly via the Great South Run website (subject to availability).
In addition to the 10-mile run, a variety of shorter races will take place on Saturday, 17 October 2026. A perfect opportunity to run with the whole family, friends or work colleagues:
