Whizz through the full Great South Run route in less than three minutes

This year's Great South Run will start on Southsea seafront, and the route will take runners up to Old Portsmouth, through central Southsea and east towards Eastney.

Using Google Earth we have created a 3D video version of the route map, showing the key points runners will pass '“ watch the video on this story to see the route.

The routes for the mini course and 5k, which will be held on Saturday,  have also been revealed.

There will be four water stops around the route, with the first on Winston Churchill Avenue shortly before the four-mile mark.

Runners will be able to see the finish line for the first time when they run beside Southsea Common by the mile 5 mark, but they will still have half the run to go before they complete the event.
