BUPA Great South Run

First held in 1990, the Great South Run is Europe’s most popular 10 mile race. The scenic route weaves through Portsmouth’s historic dockyard and then back along the sea front.

The race is well supported locally, and crowds of people turn out to cheer on the runners. There are also live bands along the route and a great atmosphere.

World Land Trust (WLT) is looking for five enthusiastic volunteers to represent the Trust in the Great South Run.

If you are interested in raising funds for WLT by running in the Great South Run, or would like more information before making up your mind, please contact Anne Clifford on aclifford@worldlandtrust.org or call her on 01986 874422 on Wednesdays and Fridays. More information about our five guaranteed places will be available soon; we will need to ask runners who take these places to pledge a minimum fundraising total and pay a small registration fee.

It is also possible to secure a place through the public entry system, though these are likely to sell out quickly. Visit the Bupa Great Run website to register, and then let Anne know you’d like to run for us. If you secure your own place in this way, you don’t need to make a fundraising pledge.
