A n absolutely brilliant well organised event. We were graced with unseasonably good weather 23degC max no wind and sunny all day. Everything was perfect. The buses to the start, the signage - you won't get lost! , the route through woodland on really nice flat tracks and along a pancake flat tarmac around Poole harbour and Bournemouth seafront. Everyone was so nice and friendly, the RTTS team and marshals, the general public clapping and supporting throughout the route, in awe of us running 31miles! and the support of other runners.

This was my 5th year in a row running this event! That speaks volumes, in my opinion!! I really love this race & it has become one of my favourite days of the year! From the easy atmosphere at the start line to the beautiful route, well stocked checkpoints, friendly marshals & fab finish….there is nothing that I would change. For experienced & beginner runners alike, this is a great race! I have already signed up for next year!! Thanks for such a wonderful event! (Oh and the weather was perfect this year also!)

My first ultra and it was fantastic. The first 30km was along the most beautiful forest trails then a section through Poole before coming out onto the seafront for the final 12km. Very well signposted and plenty of support along the way. I will be returning next year to run to the sea again.

This was my first ever ultra and I absolutely loved it! It was really well marshalled and sign posted and the aid stations were great too. There was lots of support along the way and the route was really enjoyable and scenic. I also loved both the medal and the tshirt, will definitely be back again next year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ultraviolet Run to the Sea – Bournemouth What an incredible experience! This was my first ultra marathon, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better event to take on the challenge. The pre-event training package was outstanding and gave me the confidence, preparation and support I needed to get ready for my first ultra. The advice, guidance and training really helped me feel prepared for the big day. And then came the event itself — absolutely awesome! The atmosphere, organisation, route and overall experience were fantastic. There was a real sense of community and encouragement throughout, which made such a challenging achievement even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising Ultraviolet Run to the Sea. You created an amazing event and gave me memories that I’ll never forget. First ultra completed — and I absolutely loved it! 🏃‍♂️🌊💪 Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back!

My first ultra and what an event, fantastic course, so easy to follow, great marshalls and beautiful medal. Lucky with weather but it was beautiful to run from stunning autumn forest and trails and then to reach the sea. Ultras are tough, it is exhausting but keep smiling, and running along side the sea makes that very easy.

A great event. Pre event communication was good but I was disappointed I missed the cut off to add a silicone cup and Tshirt (I was told I could buy a cup on the day but the volunteers didn’t know how to take payment). However I did manage to buy a T-shirt at the end which I am very grateful for as it is lovely quality. It would’ve been nice to see the design in advance as I definitely would have pre purchased. I didn’t think there would be any left due to my slow time, but there were so thank you. However it was nice that the medal design was a surprise and it matched my outfit very well, haha! Pre event was excellent, very calm, thank you. Plenty of toilets and rather amusingly a queue for gents and none for ladies! First time for everything! Course was safe and well navigated. Don’t bank on the toilet stops on the map being toilet stops on the route, I found a couple were generic toilets a bit off route so it was a wild wee for me (which was fine but if you need to use to a cubicle for any reason maybe factor in this to your timings). There were no bottlenecks that I experienced, I stuck to the left to let the quicker runners pass me. The aid stations were fantastically stocked. The first one was understandably very busy and the toilets had big queues. It got better after that. Marshalls were very good at reminding you to go over the timing mat. I used the service to send personal nutrition to aid station three and this worked very well. Thank you. The support from the public along the prom was absolutely amazing. It made my day. The prom section is long and unforgiving so it really got me through! Going over the dunes to the finish will make you question all your life decisions. Save some energy for this. I was a bit disappointed to finish and be told I could take what I wanted from the freebie table ‘well what’s left anyway’ - made me feel even slower than I already was lol! Maybe if there was more to choose from some could’ve been saved for the back of the pack? I also would’ve liked the medal to have been given to me round my neck not handed to me but that’s just a personal niggle! Loved this event and can see why people return year on year. Thank you.
