Run to the Shore 8
Races 2026

A fast, flat coastal run along Bournemouth and Poole’s iconic promenade. Starting at Branksome Dene, this route traces a stretch once known for smugglers and baronial mansions, now lined with beach huts and sweeping sea views. With the sound of the waves beside you, it’s pure seafront running — simple, scenic, and timeless
