Looking for a new challenge this year? Then why not sign up for this year’s Great South Run on Sunday 18th October and raise money for The Wight Brainy Bunch?
This is the event that kick started our charity, so means a lot to us.
Whether you’re a novice taking on your first challenge or an experienced runner, The Great South Run is the perfect challenge and a firm favourite with our Wight Brainy Bunch Team!
If you are still considering taking on the worlds leading 10 mile race or have already booked your place, we would love you to join our team and be wearing a Wight Brainy Bunch vest as you join 20,000 other runners along this famous route.
Starting on Clarence Esplanade in Southsea, the fast and flat course takes you through Old Portsmouth, home of the Portsmouth Cathedral, before entering the Historic Dockyard, home of HMS Victory, past Spinnaker Tower, and finishing on the seafront with beautiful views of the Isle of Wight.
The course is steeped in history dating as far back as 1212 and features bands on the run and unrivalled support from local residents and spectators.
Please contact us on: info@thewightbrainybunch.org.uk to confirm you intend to run for The Wight Brainy Bunch and we can support you with fundraising, sponsor forms and a running vest and our spectator team will be there to cheer you on, on the day.
