My Story

In October last year, having realised that I was 12 months from turning 50, I set myself the challenge of getting #fitforfifty

The GSR is a week before my big birthday, so it's the perfect goal and all for the most amazing charity doing such wonderful work! 

About us

The AJ Bell Great South Run has been the world’s most famous 10-mile run for over 30 years, and each year it gets even better!

Starting and finishing on the glorious seafront, the event provides stunning running at every turn and passes iconic landmarks including the Historic Dockyard, HMS Victory and Southsea Castle.

It’s a run for everyone, of all ages and abilities – an inclusive celebration of running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists bumping.
