Run for the Right Path

Every mile you run helps create brighter futures for young people across Portsmouth.
Join Team Blue Wave at the Great South Run 2026 and help change lives.

Why We’re Running

Every young person deserves the chance to grow up with opportunities, support and hope for the future.

Unfortunately, not every child has access to positive activities or trusted role models. Some face challenges that can lead to anti-social behaviour, exploitation, knife crime or drug-related harm.

By running with Blue Wave, you’re helping us give young people a different path to follow.
