We’ve just entered for the BUPA Great South Run 10-mile event, held in Portsmouth on Sunday 28th October. The Great South Run, like its twin race the Great North Run, is a 10-mile run that this time will take in the beautiful sights of Portsmouth Harbour on a fast and relatively flat course.

The great news is that there are still a few places left for runners who want to race for the charities that have officially partnered with the BUPA Great South Run. These include The Alzheimer’s Society, The Bobby Moore Fund, The British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, among others.

Join up today at http://greatrun.org to help raise money for people who really need it, and enjoy a bracing run through the historic dockyards and coast of this southern city.

In the meantime, you may want to get the final touches to your training, so check out our essental guides to running technique and preparation, and we’ll see you on Sunday 28th October!
