Welcome to
Westbourne Running Club
An inclusive running club who train in and around Bournemouth. Whether you are an experienced runner or just getting started we would love to see you at our training sessions and friendly running events! We offer everything from social lunchtime runs which are ideal for those just getting started to training runs and track nights where even the most experienced runners can get some solid training done.
Training and Events
We train at locations across Bournemouth. Sessions range from relaxed chatty social runs to tempo efforts, hill work, and circuits, often over mixed terrain. Training is suitable for a wide range of abilities and open to members aged 18 and over.
Thinking of joining us? You are welcome to come for a few runs with us and see if we're the right club for you.

External Events
Westbourne Running Club takes part in local race series including the Dorset Road Race League (DRRL) and events supported by the Purbeck Trail Association. These bring clubs from across the region together to compete in a structured mix of road and trail races throughout the year.
Selected races from these series form part of our club championship, giving members the chance to score points, track progress, and race regularly as part of a team. Representing the club in league races is an important part of membership — racing in club colours supports the events we're involved in, builds our standing in the local running community, and strengthens the competitive side of the club.
Race days also bring strong camaraderie. Travelling, racing, and supporting each other creates a shared club spirit that extends well beyond the finish line.
Westbourne RC is UK Athletics affiliated. Club membership includes UKA registration and provides access to discounted entry fees at eligible races.
