This means that this is an original Nice work race, fully hosted and organised by us.
Event Overview:
The Gosport Golden Mile returns for another year and we're looking forward to welcoming athletes of all ages, sizes and abilities. Test yourself against the best on this pancake flat, point to point one mile course along the promenade in Gosport. We host a senior race and the Junior Golden Mile.
If you have enough energy left, why not try your luck in the Gosport Golden 5k that follows the Golden Mile? The 5km race is a popular race on the running calendar, a fast and an exhilarating flat, out and back dash along the promenade.
