Run Bournemouth is a running festival which is a vision of running as it should be, next to the sea, sun and surf along Bournemouth’s promenade, award winning blue flag beaches and famous piers. Over the weekend a host of distances is covered from Half Marathon,10k and 5k for the adults and a number of junior and kids races. EDACs very own Roisin Gaffney took the long trip to the South coast of England for the festival, and started on the Saturday night with the Supernova 5k, this race starts at 0700pm as the sun starts going down over the sea. The race starts on the promenade and finishes at the lower gardens, this coastal route takes in Bournemouth Pier and takes place at dusk with an emphasis on light around the route. Roisin will be happy with her warm up event clocking 26 min 29 sec placing 143rd out of 749 runners. Early next morning Roisin was back on the start line for the Supersonic 10k, this is a fantastic flat and fast course and with 1274 athletes and great conditions this was going to be a great race. Roisin had a great second race coming 3rd in her age group and 388th overall in a time of 55 min 18 sec, a great time and she enjoyed the route, scenery and atmosphere of the whole festival.
