Bournemouth Bay Run 2022
After much consideration, and in line with government advice, the decision has been made to cancel the 2021 Bournemouth Bay Run. The newly sponsored AXA Health Bournemouth Bay Run will take place next year on 3rd April 2022 and runners places will be automatically deferred to that date.
Virtual Bournemouth Bay Run
Thanks to all the incredible runners who ran the 2021 Virtual Bournemouth Bay Run and raised money for the British Heart Foundation. You can still submit your times and view the leaderboard by heading to our Virtual Bay Run leaderboard page.

Bournemouth Bay Runs Environmental Aim
Overall aim
The Bournemouth Bay Run is committed to making the event as environmentally friendly as possible. One of the main affecters are single use plastics, at many running events plastic bottles are the most widely used form of hydration for participants. This year we are using boxed water and paper cups at all the water stations and canned water at the finish funnel to eliminate the use of single use plastic bottles and cups.
Recycling
There will be drop nets provided at points after each water station for the paper cups and all water station marshals are briefed to pick up any dropped cups from around their water station. These nets are picked up and all the contents will be recycled. At the finish there will be recycling bins for cans and litter pickers throughout Pier Approach.
Single use plastic
As mentioned previously in the overall aim there will be no plastic cups or bottles along the course or at the finish. We have chosen to not have our t-shirts bagged, they come in cardboard boxes. Previously our medals have been singularly bagged, now we have them bagged in 20’s. We have also opted for an online goody bag instead of a physical one, this way the participants get offers and adverts online without using unnecessary of plastic and paper.
Sustainable transport
Participants are advised through social media and in their race packs to use public transport, carshare, or walk or cycle to the event. There is a luggage marquee provided for participants to safely store their belongings if they do decide to opt for sustainable transport, they can leave their personal belongings and clothes in a safe place.
