Great South Run: Early bird entries launched for 2024 Southsea event, prices and how to book tickets?

Thousands of runners descended on Southsea earlier this month to test their endurance for a variety of good causes. The 10 mile event saw people travel past Portsmouth Cathedral, Clarence Pier, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, HMS Victory and other historical landmarks.

People also took part in the 5km race, with younger ones also raising money for charities while running in the junior’s 2.5km race and the mini 1.2km dash. A Great South Run spokesperson said tickets are now available for next year’s events.
