BOURNEMOUTH BEACH RACE
Sunday 7th June 2026 | Bournemouth Pier
The Bournemouth Beach race is BACK - take on the ultimate seaside running adventure! Starting from Bournemouth Pier and heading East towards Boscombe, choose your distance between 5K or 10K and enjoy the challenge of dashing across golden sand, leaping over the groynes and soaking up the sea views as you go. This is no ordianry run - it's a full body challenge and thrilling test of stamina and grit!
Whether you're using the run as training or just out for fun, the Bournemouth Beach race is the perfect way to push yourself in a unique and exhilarating setting. Bring your friends, family, or running crew, and make a day of it - run, laugh, get a little sandy and celebrate with some well-earned chill time on the beach afterwards or head into town for brunch!
It's all about sun, sand and smiles so come and give it a go! Are you ready to race the tide?
"This is not your standard out-n-back 10k. Running on sand is hard work and groynes to climb/clamber over. The thing I like about this is just that it's very different to a lot of other events. This must be the 3rd or 4th time I've done it but running on a beach, early on a Sunday morning when most sensible people would be in bed. What's not to like?" Racecheck Review
