Be part of the inaugural Southampton Running Festival on Sunday 31st May.
This scenic city-centre route is ideal for chasing a personal best, winding through woodland, open grassland, ponds, wetlands and parkland within one of Southampton’s most loved green spaces.
Designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Southampton Common offers a unique setting for running, walking and enjoying local wildlife, making this event as memorable as it is fast.
The festival includes a half marathon, 10K, 5K and a junior race.
Get your fundraising started by setting up a JustGiving page. It's then easy to share your challenge with friends and family and raise vital funds for young people facing homelessness.

We've teamed up with Run for Charity to bring our supporters a wide range of events to choose from. With so many options, there's bound to be something that grabs you.
We are proud to announce the opening of our new move-on property in Bedhampton. This home will support up to four young people aged 18 and over, many of whom might otherwise be left waiting on housing lists, homeless, or relying on a friend’s sofa.
The Bedhampton property is the third Step by Step move-on home – a unique accommodation model for young people ready to move on with their lives but with no viable housing options available to them.
