About this Event
Welcome to Pier to Beer 2027 – a fun, social charity drinks run along Bournemouth's beautiful seafront.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, an occasional jogger or simply fancy a walk with friends, this event is all about enjoying the journey, meeting new people and raising money for a fantastic local cause.
This is not a race. There are no winners, no timers and no pressure. Everyone stays together as we make our way between venues, stopping for a drink at each location before moving on to the next.
What to expect
- 🏃 Run, jog or walk the 7km route
- 🍺 Four drinks stops at some of Bournemouth's best seafront venues
- ❤️ 100% of your entry fee donated to charity
- 👕 A complimentary Pier to Beer event T-shirt
- 📸 Plenty of photo opportunities and a great atmosphere throughout
- 🍔 Stay afterwards for food, drinks and a chat with everyone who took part
On the day
Please arrive by 11:30am for registration, where you'll receive your event T-shirt and sign in before we set off at 12:00pm.
At each stop we'll wait for everyone to arrive before enjoying a drink together and moving on. Nobody gets left behind.
Important information
- Participants must be 18+.
- Drinks purchased during the run are not included in your ticket price unless otherwise stated by the venue.
