The Poole Festival of Running is Poole’s biggest running event and is organised by Poole Runners.  It’s a celebration of running held over two days with races for everyone including Children’s Minithons, a 5K charity run, our flagship Poole 10K road race and the Poole Half Marathon.

The 5k, 10k and Half Marathon take place on flat, fast and scenic parts of Poole including Poole Quay, Upton Country Park and the harbourside parks. The kids minithon races take place within the safety of Poole Park.

With family entertainment, food stalls and live music, there’s a great festival atmosphere!
