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 new 14k (8 mile+) event – 'Barney to Beach 2024'. 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!
View our video and be inspired - with thanks to business sponsor Letterfest for making this possible
