I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers running Mudeford to Swanage and back!
This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea. So far 3 miles per day and should reach a total of 100 miles by 31st May. Running RNLI Mudeford to RNLI Swanage and back, finishing at RNLI Poole.
During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.
By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.
Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

My Updates
Day 31 - Hengistbury Head
Monday 1st Jun WOOHOO!! 102 miles after deciding to finish with a 5 miler around Hengistbury Head and the spit up to Mudeford Quay. Posted lots of photos in the gallery below of my journey.
Day 30 - Boscombe Pier
Monday 1st Jun 3 miles between the piers and back, but a slip caused some bruising to my ankle and lower leg! Still okay to run on my last day tomorrow hopefully. Can’t believe I have run 30 days. Doesn’t seem long since I set off on the 1st May! Share
Day 29 - Southbourne
Monday 1st Jun Lovely 3 miles. Alot cooler, so a refreshing run. A tad windy which made it tougher. Share
Day 28 - Poole
Monday 1st Jun Popped over to Poole Park and Baiter Park. 3 miles around the lake and almost up to the Quay. Share
Day 26 - Friars Cliff
Monday 1st Jun This is a tough 3 miles because it’s mostly on sand and pebbles, then a climb up onto the cliff before running back along to Mudeford. Share
Day 25 - Boscombe
Monday 1st Jun A very late run because of very hot weather! No complaints though. It’s been a fabulous day! Share
Day 24 - Mudeford
Monday 1st Jun YAY!! Made it back to Mudeford. One week left and changing my route plan slightly for personal reasons, but on target for my 100 miles! Share
Day 23 - Christchurch
Monday 1st Jun 3 miles around Christchurch taking in the Food Festival route with lots of people still around despite my late run. Share
Day 22 - Hengistbury Head
Monday 1st Jun 5 miles around one of the most fabulous places on the Dorset Coast. It’s easy psychologically to run 5 miles here but physically, it is really quite demanding.. Share
Day 21 - Southbourne
Thursday 21st May A 4 miler along the seafront with a sprint around the pier. Enjoyed running barefoot on the sand and in the water. 20 degree evening sunshine. Share
Day 20 - Boscombe Pier
Thursday 21st May 3 miles in windy weather again. Poppy pup with me but the sand was blowing in her face on the way out. So, I carried her and we ran back when we turned around. Share
Day 19 - Bournemouth Pier
Tuesday 19th May Extremely windy 2 miles! Gusts over 35mph! Another exfoliation session lol. Share
Day 18 - Durley Chine
Monday 18th May Sandblasted during 4 miles on a windy seafront. Perfect weather for Kite-surfing. Not running lol Share
Day 17 - Canford Cliffs
Monday 18th May Such a lovely stretch to run. 3 miles and dodged showers! Share
Day 16 - Sandbanks
Sunday 17th May It was a late evening but very enjoyable. 3 miles around Sandbanks which is a favourite place of mine. Very flat with amazing views.. Share
Day 15 - Poole Quay
Friday 15th May Whitecliff to Poole Quay and back. 3 miles with Poppy pup. She likes to chat to other dogs so it’s a bit slower when she’s with me lol Share
Day 13 - Swanage
Wednesday 13th May A two mile run along the sea front up to RNLI Swanage Lifeboat Station, out to Peveril Point and back through town via the RNLI shop (against a strong cold wind!) Thanks for the pizza x Share
Day 12 - Studland Bay
Tuesday 12th May A wonderful 5 mile run from the chain link ferry, the whole length of Shell Bay Beach to Studland Beach and back! What a fun time that was. Share
Day 11 - Wareham
Monday 11th May A pleasant day with a steady 2 miles along the Frome in Wareham. I am never keen going inland but Wareham is a fabulous little town and had to be part of my journey! I stayed near water though 🌊💙😂 Share
Day 10 - RNLI Poole
Sunday 10th May That was fun. A 4 mile run taking in Baiter Park, RNLI Old Lifeboat Museum and RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station. I thought they would be training but these amazing crew had been out on a shout! Share
Day 9 - Sandbanks
Saturday 9th May A very hot, busy run 4 miles from Canford Cliffs to Sandbanks and back. I have now run the full coastline from Mudeford to Sandbanks and back (I always turn and run back to where I started each day) 🌊💙 Share
Day 8 - Canford Cliffs
Friday 8th May I couldn’t wait to get out there today but ended up running in the heat so it was a tough 4 miles! Absolutely beautiful sea, beach and views to Canford Cliffs and Flaghead then back. Share
Day 7 - Branksome Chine
Thursday 7th May A slightly easier 2.5 mile run today. All level and barely a breeze. Met my wonderful RNLI Dave manager halfway who gave me a May Day T-shirt I will treasure and wear for all my runs for the rest of the month. A huge thank you X Share
Day 6 - Bournemouth Pier Run
Wednesday 6th May Four miles from Boscombe Pier to Bournemouth Pier and back (thought it was only 3 miles lol). The best run I have had for a long time. Loved it and was a perfect evening. Someone shouted ‘Keep going Forrest!’ That’s absolutely true and made my evening 🏃 Share
Day 5 - Boscombe Pier Run
Tuesday 5th May A three mile run taking in the fabulous Boscombe Pier! A lot of history which is told on the display boards if you ever get to go. I met some wonderful lifeguards (see my gallery). It’s RNLI’s 25th year of lifeguards this year. Your donations to my page are greatly appreciated by us all. Thank you 🌊💙x Share
Day 4 - Southbourne
Monday 4th May An absolutely gorgeous morning. A level surface today on the seafront for two miles. Share
Day 3 - Hengitsbury Head
Sunday 3rd May A steady 3 miles with my dog, Poppy. Warm and humid, and quite busy so had to run slower. Plus, this is the toughest terrain and hills from my entire challenge. The views are worth every second 🌊💙 Share
Day 2 - Christchurch Harbour
Saturday 2nd May Pacing the Wick Ferry today lol. Then a run out along the marshes. Another 3 miles. Stopped for some photos of springtime foliage. Take a look in my gallery below. Share
Day 1 - Mudeford 3 miles
Friday 1st May A perfect day for running to start the May Day Mile 2026 campaign. A steady start to warm up then slight acceleration reaching 5:35/km. So, a 9 minute mile in the middle. Heading for 7 minute mile by the end of the month (in my dreams) 😅Thank you to my Sponsors
