THERE’S still time to enter some of the events at this year’s Bournemouth Marathon Festival ahead of next week’s final deadline.

All half marathon entries and standard entries for the 10k, 5k and junior races close on Wednesday, September 9 at 5pm.

There are still some charity places available for the full marathon too.

More than ten thousand runners, of all ages, are expected to descend on Bournemouth for the third edition of the Bournemouth Marathon Festival which runs from October 3-4.

Awarded bronze label status by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the world governing body for running, this year’s event looks set to be bigger and better than ever.

With races to suit all ages and abilities, it provides the perfect event for groups of runners or families to enjoy a full weekend and raise thousands for charity.
