Coastal Half Marathon, Portsmouth 2012

12th February

Portsmouth, Portsmouth

If you like to run something slightly different then this is for you. Starting and finishing at the Pyramid centre in Southsea. The first 3 miles take in the fantastic views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight and some good sightseeing along the Portsmouth and Southsea seafront, Royal Marines Museum, South Parade Pier and the Pyramids. Then from 4 to 8 miles a mixture of off-road running with grass at Bransbury Park, then on to the beach shingle (muddy) at the Thatched House and all around Milton Common before returning to the beach. The last 6 miles is back along Southsea seafront, down to Old Portsmouth and looping back to the finish at the back of the pyramids. If the tide comes in you may get wet feet. Wet and windy last year, so place a bet on having lovely sunshine in 2012. Hot soup for all runners at the finish.Start: 10:15amTicket Cost: £16
