Runners who complete both half marathons receive a limited edition bonus medal called the Double Trouble medal. The main venue listed for the weekend is Southsea Castle, Clarence Esplanade, Portsmouth PO5 3PG. The event covers coastal and harbour terrain and combines seaside views with sections of trail and urban seafront running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
