The course
The course is 5k long. The course is along Southsea promenade, starting and finishing on the prom between the beach huts and toilets at Eastney (postcode PO4 9NB; what3words ///driven.thanks.crab). The course is run entirely on paved esplanade. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

After the run
Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee at Cafe Fresco at Canoe Lake. They give a discount to parkrunners on production of a barcode, so you may well find some of us there - please come and join us!
