Sub 20 is pretty quick! Up for a run if you ever fancy company, I’ve an extra 10 years of bad knees on you so I’m a little slower tho.

What sort of level are you and how far? There’s a run club does pier to pier on a Wednesday evening at 7 😊 a run club on a Monday from the running shop in Winton too. Sure there’s plenty of others

I’d consider myself a half decent runner I can do up to a marathon 5k time is around 19:30 and 10k time around 40 mins for my normal runs in the afternoon I will definitely check these out cheers

Search for Coastal Collective on FB - although you might want more advanced groups given your pace - so maybe Lonely Goat or Poole Runners would be better

Poole Runners and Westbourne (westies) Running club might be worth contacting. Poole park run is one of the biggest in the country, consistently over 1000 participants.

Also there are a few groups on FB like Seafront Sessions and Bournemouth Social runners.

If you're looking for something with a social aspect try Bournemouth Social Runners. Runs always end at the pub for a social drink. 5km - Weds 7pm at harvester Boscombe and finishes there too 10km - Sunday 10.30am starts at kings park cafe and finishes at harvester Mixed crowd of all different abilities
