Fundraising Events

Run for us and support our Surgical Research Fund

2020 was tough but now we're back on track! If you took up running during lockdown, why not challenge yourself to run in support of the RCS England? We have places in various distanced runs with opportunities for the already very sporty and for those who would like to try something for the first time. Contact us for more information or sign up for any of the events below.

Great South Run (10 miles), Portsmouth, Sunday 17 October – five places available.

Starting and finishing on Clarence Esplanade in Southsea, the course takes you through Old Portsmouth, home of the Portsmouth Cathedral, before entering the historic dockyard. Here you’re granted permission to run past the Royal Navy’s current naval ships, and some of the most famous in the world – including HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose museum. 

After exiting the Dockyard you reach the halfway point on Winston Churchill Avenue, before making your way back towards Southsea Common, where you’ll complete the final two miles on the scenic seafront.

The course is steeped in history dating as far back as 1212 and features charity cheering points, boost zones, bands on the run and unrivalled support from local residents and spectators.
