A Fun Run for Children and a Challenge Race for Young People

Local children under seventeen years of age are being invited to take part in two age category running events before the start of the Gosport Half Marathon on Sunday 17th November

The age categories of the events are:

  • An under 12 children’s Fun Run which will start at 9am - distance 1km.
  • An under 17 Challenge Race which will start at 9.15 - distance 2km.

A parent or guardian must accompany every young person to and from these events.

For all the children and young people there will be a mass warm up to music starting at 8.45am (Parents/Guardians of young children can join in).

Parents/Guardians may accompany younger children in the Fun Run only (unfortunately no medal for the adults!). Fancy dress in the Fun Run is optional for both children and accompanying adults and we hope to have some dinosaurs running with the younger children.

The best represented school or club on the day will receive £500 from Gosport Road Runners to purchase sporting equipment of their choice.

Entry into either race is £2.00 payable by cash on the day. There is a goody bag and medal for every finisher and special trophies for the first three boys and girls in each event.

Every entrant will be given a race number and their finishing time digitally recorded. Results will be displayed on the website shortly after the event.

Both events start and finish at Bay House School sports field, Gomer Lane, Gosport, PO12 2QP.
