My number arrived today which has prompted me to have a look at the race info.
Could anyone please advise me on parking? I see there are several carparks within the run area, but would we be better using Park + Ride?
We'll be coming from M27/M275 direction.

The last time I ran this race 2017 I met a friend and she used the park and ride as easier to get out post race and away from all the issues with getting out of car park.She is a local.

i just used the hover craft and walked to start;-)

I’m staying in a caravan at Southsea for the weekend. Previous years the roads have been really busy as you get nearer the sea front, and some of them are closed. Park & ride is probably the best option.

I used park and ride and would use it again if did the race again. Only downside was a bit of a queue for the bus each way but not too bad.

Thank you 😊

I’m thinking P+R might be the way to go. I’m hoping there will be other obvious runners on the bus so I’ll know where to get off!

I think everyone on the buses was either a runner or someone with a runner :)

Anyone (apart from me) doing the Great South Run this weekend? I’ve entered the 5k on Saturday as well as the main run on Sunday. It’s my 3rd time doing this one.
UPDATE : 2024 my 5th time!
