The Bournemouth Beach Race is a 5K and 10K event starting at Bournemouth Pier and following the shoreline towards Boscombe. Run entirely on the beach, the course combines golden sand, sea views and the added challenge of crossing the groynes that line the coast.

Unlike a traditional road race, the soft sand surface creates a full body endurance challenge that tests strength, balance and stamina. The coastal setting and unique terrain make this a memorable seaside running experience for runners looking for something different from the usual road or trail event.
