Brand new event for 2024!
RUN Barnstaple offers a flat and fast course, making it the ideal setting for those aiming to achieve a personal best. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or looking to take on your first running challenge, go the distance for your local children's hospice and together let’s raise vital funds and awareness for children, young people and families living with life-limiting conditions.
This event is part of RUN Barnstaple.
Dogs on leads are welcome to spectate and in the event village but are not permitted to participate.
There are plenty of great vantage spots for spectators to cheer. The favourites are:
Rock Park
1881 Ladies' Mile
Barnstaple
Devon
EX32 9AQ
UK
The event village will have food and drink vendors, a bar, and stalls. There will be fun and entertainment for children so please bring family and friends along to support you.
Registration, running number collection and bag drop is at Park School (Park Lane, Barnstaple EX32 9AX) which can be accessed via steps from Rock Park/Ladies Mile. Please allow plenty of time to register, get your number and drop your bags before your race start as it can get busy.
Barnstaple town centre has ample public parking. There is no vehicle access to Rock Park, the road is closed all day.
All routes are well marked, with distance markers, directional signs, and marshals. Most of the route is on either closed roads or the Tarka Trail, however there is a section of around a mile in which participants will be sharing the road with cars. The Tarka Trail is open as usual to the public and bikes, walkers etc will be using the trail on race day.
There are 8 water stops on the route:
Children's Hospice South West strive to make their events as 'green' as possible. Thirsty Work is providing the water and recyclable cups at the 8 water stations and will be selling reusable bottles in the event village. Runners are encouraged to bring their own bottle or cup.
A sponsorship target of £70 is suggested, which could help to fund one hour of care at your local children’s hospice.
Your registration fee only covers the cost of delivering this event. It’s your sponsorship that will help us make the most of short and precious lives across the South West. Without the support of wonderful fundraisers like you, we would not be able to keep caring for children and young people across the South West and their families.
It’s the easiest way to get sponsored. Let everyone know why you’re taking part and update your page with photos and videos. Share your page on social media, WhatsApp and by email so your family and friends can sponsor you.
