Great South Run
26 October 2008
Brought to you by the organisers of the famous Great North Run, this scenic 10 mile coastal road race is becoming increasingly popular with beginners and experienced runners alike. If you have already done the Great North Run this could be the ideal time to 'do the double'.
The course is flat with stunning scenery along the way, giving you an ideal opportunity to try and beat your personal best or run your very first road race.
Fundraising

In order to help you we will send you a pack full of tips and sponsorship forms and will be on hand to offer advice and answer any of your queries.

- A state of the art running vest
- A support pack full of fundraising and training advice
- A training plan and top tips from our sports ambassador Denise Lewis
