Bournemouth Coastal TEN
The Bournemouth Coastal TEN is a seaside running event based at Hengistbury Head nature reserve in Bournemouth, Dorset. The venue offers facilities and hard-standing parking and serves as the event centre for the routes.
Distances offered:
- 10 Mile - 102 m elevation gain
- 10K - 50 m elevation gain
Both courses follow Bournemouth seafront paths and include a run along Boscombe Pier with uninterrupted sea views. On clear days the route provides views of the Isle of Wight, The Needles, and Old Harry Rocks on the Jurassic Coast. The route is largely flat and traffic free, with course marshalls and clear signage using pink arrows and tape. Hazards and road junctions are marked with caution signs.
Race services include chip timing, water stations, post-race refreshments, a finisher's medal and a certificate. First aid cover is available at on-course aid stations and the event centre. The event is plastic free at water stations so participants are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Bib numbers are collected at registration on arrival and should be displayed on the front of the runner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
