The running in and around Poole is mostly on pavement and quiet roads, so road shoes are fine, covering anything from 5km to 8km. It stays flat enough for steady, even-paced running. Most are loops, so you finish back where you started. Bournemouth and Wimborne Minster are close enough to be worth a look too.
