Good Vibrations : Southbourne Beach
Good Vibrations is a running event on the beachfront promenade at Southbourne Beach, Bournemouth, Dorset. The course is a flat, tarmacked out and back along the promenade with no elevation gain or loss. Laps measure 5.3 km (3.28 miles) and the route is officially measured and certified by the Association of UK Course Measurers, so it can count as a road marathon for 100 Marathon Club purposes.
Participants may choose their own distance on the day, from shorter runs up to an ultra marathon. Finishers of a lap or more receive a metal vinyl-inspired medal. The event operates under a TRA licence and distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under in line with UK Athletics rules.
Race-day arrangements include number pick-up at on-site registration before starting, a staffed aid station at the start/finish of each lap offering drinks and a range of sweet and savoury snacks, and an area to leave personal items. The event is cupless, so participants should bring their own cup. Public toilets and showers are available along the promenade. Final instructions are sent to participants by email before the event.
The 2027 date is listed as TBC. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
