Charlotte Patrick, events team leader at Naomi House & Jacksplace, said: "This annual event is fantastic for bringing runners together in a unique location.

"The run gets bigger and better each year.

"We’re grateful to Solent Airport and Fareham Borough Council for welcoming us back, and we’re really looking forward to meeting all the 2026 runners."

The flat, straight course is free from obstacles and traffic, ideal for those chasing a personal best.

Whether working through a Couch to 5k programme or aiming for a PB, participants are welcome.

The UKA-accredited event is officially measured and timed, with results published on RunBritain.

Funds raised will support the care of seriously ill children, young adults, and their families during the most challenging times.

The race begins at 8am, and participants must be aged 13 or over. Entry starts from £16.
