Is this the UK’s Hardest Parkrun?

This will be my 10th ever Parkrun, and to celebrate we've come out to Woolacombe Dunes in North Devon, to attempt one of the UK's hardest and slowest 5k courses.

Running up the famous but daunting DUNE OF DOOM was tough, but it was evened out by the more calmly named, Slope of Hope. Trails, beaches and soft-packed, steep sand dunes were only one part of the problem, as the temperature was below freezing for this one! So big thanks to all the marshalls and volunteers, using their own free time in the bitter cold to make an event like today happen.

We'll meet some great people along the way such as Marty, as well as one happy dog Harley and his owner Craig, who had travelled from Bude for this one!

Some sad news heard at this event too, as it was announced that a local runner had passed away recently. I did not know him myself, but my thoughts and condolensces go out to their family and friends.
