Run Bournemouth Half Marathon, 10K & 5K 2026

Run Bournemouth is an October road-running event held in Bournemouth, on England’s south coast. It features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and shorter races. The event originated with a full 42.195 km marathon as its main race, but this was later discontinued, while the half marathon continued. The former marathon achieved IAAF Road Race Bronze Label status across several editions, setting course records of 2:16:00 for men and 2:30:04 for women. The half marathon has also attracted competitive club and elite runners, with records of 1:08:02 for men and 1:19:43 for women. The broader weekend event offers local runners and novices shorter race options within the Bournemouth race festival.
