Are you up for an event with a difference? Families in Grief (FiG) and The Wave Project - two local North Devon charities - have joined forces to bring you an exciting 8 mile event – 'Barney to Beach 2025'. Starting in Barnstaple Pannier Market, the route will take you through a variety of terrains - mostly flat - along the Tarka trail with some spectacular North Devon views along the way. We then finish through the dunes and onto the beach at Crow Point. What a journey!

Children can take part along with parent/carers on a Family Ticket and do the full course. As an alternative, there will be a mile-long fun run through the dunes and beach around Crow Point. Ages 4 to 16 are welcome. For the fun run, you can still register on the day at Crow Point Car Park (registration 10.00-10.45am).
