Great South Run 2022: Full list of Portsmouth road closures, when they are shut, length of closures and parking information

The running event returned last year after being cancelled to Covid-19 restrictions in 2020.

Portsmouth City Council estimate the event will attract 25,000 runners and spectators this weekend.

Councillor Lynne Stagg, cabinet member for traffic and transportation, said ‘The Great South Run is a wonderful event, and we are looking forward to welcoming runners and spectators to Portsmouth.

‘We encourage the public to choose sustainable transport where viable and to be considerate of our city.

‘I wish all participants the best of luck and am looking forward to seeing the joy that these events bring to Portsmouth.’

The mini, junior and 5k runs will take place on Saturday, with the main 10-mile run happening on the following day.

The main run starts at Clarence Esplanade and will go through Old Portsmouth and Historic Dockyard, returning to Southsea via Canoe Lake.
