Hengistbury Head, Bournemouth
Run Bournemouth 2026 is a two-day coastal running festival held along the Bournemouth seafront and surrounding parks featuring multiple distance events for adults and children. The weekend highlights include the Bournemouth Half Marathon, a flat and scenic Supersonic 10K, the evening Supernova 5K, and a programme of junior races and a kids' kilometre designed for families. Runners experience coastal views, pier landmarks and a lively finish area at Bournemouth Pier Approach, with a festival atmosphere and charity team options available. The event is positioned as a community-friendly weekend with both competitive and mass-participation elements for a wide range of abilities.
The festival routes typically start around Hengistbury Head for the longer distances and use Bournemouth Promenade and the Lower Gardens for starts and finishes of shorter races. Several charity partners and national charities offer team places and participant support including branded tops and fundraising packs for those entrants. Practical details such as exact wave timetables, athlete guides and final course maps are published on the official Run Bournemouth site and by charity partners nearer the event. Entrants should consult the event website or their chosen charity page for registration and logistical updates.
