Barney to Beach – Sunday 13 September 2026

Help raise money for Families in Grief, a local charity supporting bereaved children, young people, and their families across northern Devon. Eight miles from town to tide, finishing with a sprint across the dunes to the Atlantic beyond – where fun and games on the beach await.

Suitable for beginners, walkers, and experienced runners alike, this event is part of our 20th anniversary celebration as we mark 20 Years of Hope – and aim to raise £20,000 to continue our important work. Can you help us meet our target?

Registration is open now: www.sientries.co.uk/event/barney-to-beach-2026.

Volunteers and corporate sponsors welcome, please contact info@familiesingrief.org.
