Why it mattered
Site Manager Steve Lillis and Commercial Director Steve Norman tackled the 13.1‑mile course along the Dorset coast, a reminder that challenge, preparation and determination go beyond bricks and mortar. Their participation reflects the same mindset we bring to every project: plan well, stay steady, and finish strong.
The route: coast, piers and finish line
The Bournemouth Half Marathon follows a scenic route along the coast-starting near Hengistbury Head, flowing along cliff‑tops and seafront paths, passing both Boscombe Pier and Bournemouth Pier, and finishing at the Pier Approach with cheering crowds and a great atmosphere.
With its 13.1 miles and a modest elevation gain (around 150 m) it strikes a good balance between scenic route and performance challenge.
What it takes - and what it shows
Preparing for an event like this isn’t so different from preparing a large‑scale build: you need training, preparation, good support and the right mindset. Just like we plan and coordinate our sites, race training requires discipline, pacing and teamwork.
For Steve Lillis & Steve Norman this is a demonstration of how they bring that same level of accountability back to work every day.
Well done guys!
Crossing the finish line is no small thing, and both Steve Lillis and Steve Norman did us proud. The Bournemouth course isn’t easy, with some tough stretches along the seafront, but they kept going and got the job done. No fuss, no drama - just solid effort. We’ll be cheering them on for whatever challenge comes next.
