Bournemouth Bay Half
March 22, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
“The Vitality Bournemouth Bay Run will take place on 22nd March 2026 set against the backdrop of Bournemouth’s famous seven-mile stretch of golden sand. We are delighted to have Dorset Mind, Forest Holme Hospice, Bournemouth Foodbank, and Healthbus Trust returning as our Charity Partners for 2026.
The Half Marathon starts from Pier Approach at 10:00. Entries are open to participants aged 17 and over. Race entries close on 19th March 2026 (or sooner if the race reaches capacity) but runners signing up after 15th March will need to collect their bibs from the Info Tent (in the Race Village in Bournemouth Lower Gardens), rather than receive them in the post. We would suggest signing up sooner, as this race typically reaches capacity before entries close.
Further information, route maps, and runner info (once ready) can be found on our website and in our FAQs. We look forward to seeing you on the day!”
