You’ll be able to enjoy the incredible local support, rocking on-course music zones, post-race celebrations, and an unbeatable atmosphere from start to finish.

Whether it’s doing something incredible for charity that’s your motivator, or you’re keen to challenge yourself, or add a medal to your collection… The AJ Bell Great South Run is definitely one that will tick those boxes.

So get ready to #feelthefeeling and join us for a 10-mile challenge on Sunday 15 October.
