About the race
Race for Life Bournemouth is a seafront running event organised by Cancer Research UK on Pier Approach, Bournemouth (BH1 2EZ). The event offers chip timing and two route options:
- 10k
- 5k
The start and finish are on hardstanding. The course runs on tarmac and hardstanding paths along the seafront toward Boscombe Pier, then the 10k splits from the 5k to continue along Boscombe promenade, turns around after 5k and returns to Pier Approach. The route may become slippy in wet weather and paths can be sandy in windy conditions. Possible congestion is noted at the run around and the 10k split point.
Facilities on site include refreshments and toilets. Dogs are allowed. The site is suitable for pushchairs and the event is wheelchair accessible with assistance. There is no bag drop, no showers, and no bike racks. Blue Badge parking is not available at the site but nearby town centre parking can be used; drop offs are possible behind the Oceanarium next to the BIC. The closest railway station is Bournemouth, about 1.5 miles away. Electric charging points are available in city centre car parks.
Entry categories and fees published for the event include adult and child rates, a minimum fundraising target, and specific rules for child registration and accompaniment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
