Brett's BFC Members parkrun review for 13th December 2025
Firstly a Merry Christmas to all and I hope you all get a few runs in over the festive period.
Southsea parkrun
A total of 560 parkrunners took part.
It was the 250th parkrun for Becci Knowles and conditions were, for once, perfect. Paul Osborne ran a great 27 sec PB and not far off their's were Neil Harvey , Robert Marsh and Steven Parker, but Ian Briscoe was only 2 secs outsude his PB!
In the Age Grades, Paul was 8th and Steven 12th.
Former member Bella Sanderson did a great PB too.
James Yorke got there late but did well to catch up.

Course Description
The course starts with two and half laps of the athletics track, after which you will follow the signs and marshal’s out of the stadium and onto the park where you will run through the Green gym equipment and out towards the canal towpath. After following the path running alongside the astro turf football pitch you will continue straight, taking the path up onto the canal.
Once at the top of the path you will be directed right by a Marshall and run along the Stourbridge canal for three quarters of a mile, taking in the industrial factories to the left and right before turning right onto Foots Hole grassland, where you will run for just over 1 mile over varying trail and gravel paths as well running across the old freight railway.
Once through Foots Hole Grassland you will be back on the Stourbridge canal where you will be directed left by a Marshall back onto the left hand track which takes you back alongside the astro Turf and back into the stadium.
The course will finish with one and a half laps of the track, with finishing runners filtered to the right hand side of the track after the final 100m sprint finish!
Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at this event.
Due to some narrow gated sections the course may not be suitable for single buggies and we are not able to allow double width buggies - please contact the team in advance for further advice on the course.

Great Salterns is definitely on Chrictmas Day and New Year's Day.
We are ok for Christmas Day and not too bad for volunteers on 27th. Here is the link to the volunteer roster if you would like to help
