The 1km Fun Run will start at 9am at Bay House School sports field, Gomer Lane, Gosport, PO12 2QX. There is a Goodie Bag and medal for every finisher and special trophies for the first three boys and girls. Every entrant will be given a race number and their finishing time digitally recorded. Parents/Guardians may accompany the children (unfortunately no medal for the adults!).
For all the children there will be a mass warm up to music starting at 8.45am and parents and guardians can join in should they wish.
At 9.15am there is a more challenging race of 2k for young people under 17 years of age (no Dinosaurs running at this event) and again every finisher will receive a medal and Goodie Bag and there will be special trophies for the first three boys and girls.
The best represented school or club on the day for either the Fun Run or the young persons challenge race will receive £500 from Gosport Road Runners to purchase sporting equipment of their choice.
Entry into either event is £2.00 payable by cash on the day.

The dinosaurs are raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and in January they walked every day in the local area to do so. They are now training for a new and harder challenge in April next year by walking from Lee-on-the-Solent to the start of the London Marathon and then completing the marathon. This would be a tremendous achievement. As anyone who has completed a marathon knows, the effort that goes into crossing that finishing line is hard enough but to do so wearing a Dinosaur costume is something really special. Gosport Road Runners wish the dinosaurs the best of luck in their challenge.
If you would like to watch the dinosaurs LIVE you can do on TikTok if you search for @dinofundraising you will be then able to follow Gosport Half Marathon and you can support their fund raising for the Motor Neuron Disease Association at the JustGiving page
