Woolacombe Dunes parkrun

06/06/2026

Well done and thank you to everyone who joined us for what was possibly the wettest for while parkrun today! We hope you have dried out now!?

We appreciate your patience while we dealt with an emergency which delayed results processing.

They have now been processed and should be showing for you.

See you all again soon 🧡

It's parkrun eve and that can mean only one thing. Time for our 🔈🔊 TRAVEL & PARKING INFORMATION🔈🔊 post.

Please read the whole post carefully:

⏰Plan your journey in advance and aim to arrive as early as possible, anytime from 8am.

This is to help us manage bottle necks and so you have plenty of time to get into the car park (payment is at the car park entrance) or to walk from the village & other parking spots.

The car park at Marine Drive operated by North Devon National Trust so members can park for free, don’t forget your card!

If you would like to join the trust and benefit from free parking, you can do so on the day after the event, though we recommend signing up beforehand to help keep things moving and to avoid delays, which you can do throughout the week at the Marine Drive parking hut or with our friends at Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre

Otherwise, parking is chargeable for a day pass at Marine Drive. The day pass allows you leave and return again later in the day. Other parking is available elsewhere in the village as indicated on the photo, please check with Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre for latest info on parking and charges.

⚠️🛑 We politely request that everyone respects the speed limit and drives safely in our small village & along Marine Drive, thank you ⚠️🛑

Thank you 🧡

Huge thanks for this weeks report goes to Melanie who was visiting us all the way up North in Devon from her home event of Teignmouth Promenade parkrun.

"Where I’m from, down in ‘the South’, Woolacombe Dunes parkrun is somewhat of a legend. In fact, given it is has gained the notoriety of being the second hardest parkrun in the UK, I imagine its somewhat of a national legend!"

We’re gearing up for another brilliant parkrun this Saturday, and we need a few more volunteers to make the magic happen. If you can spare a couple of hours, you can help hundreds of people start their weekend with a smile.

Whether you’re a seasoned marshal or trying volunteering for the first time, we’d love to have you on the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable, the gratitude is real, and you might just make someone’s whole week.
