Vitality Bay Run 2027: early-bird entries close this Sunday

If a coastal run along one of the UK's most scenic stretches of beach is on your list, time is running short to bag a discounted place. Early-bird entry prices for the Vitality Bay Run 2027 are available until Sunday, 25 October 2026 — just four days away.

The event itself returns on Sunday, 21 March 2027, following Bournemouth's famous seven-mile sweep of golden sand with views across Poole Bay. It's a route that many Poole residents will know well, and one that regularly draws participants from across the region.

This year's line-up includes a range of distances to suit different abilities, and a brand-new 2.5K Junior Fun Run has been added for younger runners or those taking their first steps in organised racing — making it a realistic option for families wanting to do something active together.

Vitality continues as the event's title and wellness partner. Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a personal best or a family looking to create a shared memory on a Sunday morning in March, registration is open now. Full details and entry via BCP Council's news hub.
