@@runningchannel I'd love to, but it's a little bit far away, since I'm living in Sweden… But who knows? A 5-6 weeks running vacation in England could be fun. 😬😀
Top tip for the Woolacombe course - if you are good at running downhill then start right at the front, even if you don't intend to finish near the front. The course starts with a glorious long and extremely runnable downhill stretch to the beach but it's very narrow so if you're in the middle of the pack there is just nowhere to stretch out. There's loads of space once you're on the beach for the speed merchants to do their thing.
“We are running. We are happy. We have SAND in our EYES!” Will someone please make a cross-stitch of this?😂 Seriously though, this one was full of fun and positivity-got me fired up for my day and inspired to seek out a park run myself!!!
This makes me want to take up park runs again. I’ve put on over 14 pounds and have started rebounding to loose weight. I loved park runs but have lost my confidence about going out running. This has made me rethink
This is awesome to hear. You can do it - and don’t forget you can start with walking or even just going along to cheer and/or volunteer. So happy to hear the film has made you rethink!! 😀
Thanks for capturing this brutal but beautiful parkrun. Was lucky enough to be there that day and you captured some of my wife's sprint finish! Would definitely recommend parkrunners give it a visit.
Fantastic video again running channel, your toughest parkrun video made me do Woolacombe Dunes. I would happily do it again. Would like to do Great Yarmouth someday too, its all on sand
Somerdale Pavilion parkrun is the craziest parkrun in the world. Come get lost in our curly wurly spiral of doom. As Event Director I might be biased though.
That looked so cool! I’m in NZ. I don’t get to our local one enough. It’s just reopened after Covid closed it, so will try and get there this Saturday. Love watching TRC. It has become my happy space. 😜. Learnt so much.
I would love to see you do our local one in Lillsjön, Sweden (near Stockholm). I'm pretty sure it would qualify as one of, if not THE smallest park run in the world 😄 And afterwards there is supposed to be a post-run fika (Swedish social snack of coffee and cinnamon bun) at the café just next to the finish line ✨️
Definitely would like to see the 5 hardest ones! Really want to Try Woolacombe now :) Is Flatts Lane (Near Middlesbrough) in the top 5? That one is BRUTAL!
I love Woolacombe, the body boarding, the beach & the views. My and fiancé got engaged on the beach. Awesome video guys!! Loving the channel!! This has been my go to since my running journey Jan 2022!! Maybe I need to head back down for that run!!🏃🏻
Love love love!! Yes please do a comparison video! I have only recently come across your TH-cam channel, I’m on AL this week and have spent the last 3 days binge watching your videos!! I love them
I love the idea of Parkrun. I pulled up the website and found the closest one to me in the US is about a 4 hour drive. 😕 I look forward to the possibility that it will become more popular in the US in time. 🙂 Thanks for sharing guys! You are all so fun to spend a video with!
That was wonderful and wholesome! I have two local Parkruns (Skattås and Bildal near Gothenburg), but they bring out a competitive streak in me that I don't like very much. I wish I could just treat them like a fun run but the red mist descends!
Don't let guilt over a natural reaction tarnish the joy of the activity. Refrain from elbowing people out of the way and hissing at them as you pass, stay after you finish to cheer other runners on, volunteer now and then, and just embrace the social aspect, which is really what it seems to be about.
@@Kelly_Ben good answer thanks! I always do my best to be respectful to other runners, thank every marshall, and applaud the efforts of my fellow participants. The problem is more I end up rushing off at race pace, messing up my training plan as I'm in no fit state to do my Sunday long run! To run fast is just too tempting
@@JDAMorley Thanks! And now I understand, I have a habit of doing less than ideal things before my long runs too! 😆 I thought you were just beating yourself up about being naturally competitive! 😆
I did my first Parkrun ever about 3 weeks ago. I live in Charlotte North Carolina, and the run was about 65 miles away, but I wanted to experience it. OMG one of the hilliest courses I've run in my life! I probably won't do that event again (just too far away) but supposedly they're starting one here in Charlotte. I can't wait!
Same here, I would love more of a social aspect to my solitary running, and run clubs are far away and hard to fit into my schedule. Bring on US ParkRun!!
Great parkrun! I am very motivated to try it, if I ever come to Devon. But no matter where you are in UK, you will probably be near a great parkrun anywhere. Kind regards from Offenthal Parkrun in Germany.
@@Kelly_Ben I really enjoyed it Kelly (in the main, had a dip at 28km) , ran it in 4hrs 27 which I am really pleased with as my aim was to finish under 5 😜
Hafan Pwllheli is a deceptive one. All beach. Running to a dot in the distance and then back the way you came. The surface changes from step to step, making it really hard going. It's a mixture of soft dry sand, damp loose sand, damp hard packed sand, very wet sand, shingle and large pebbles which want to twist your ankles. I did it last Saturday. It sapped my energy so much I had to walk for 50m about 300m from the end.
@@nowster probably the sensible choice. I ran barefoot in Lytham St. Anne’s recently which was wonderful until I sliced the bottom of my foot presumably on a shell around 5 miles in, and 4 miles from my base! Luckily the sand eventually helped to seal it.
I've been doing the local parkrun in Livonia, Mi (first parkrun in the states). I have plans to do two in Ohio and one in Canada this summer. All three within a two hour drive.
Definitely do the tough ones! Cliffe Castle has (unsurprisingly) a cliff to run up, pretty much. Flatts Lane is NOT flat, and I hear Hamsterley Forest is very difficult, but I've not experienced it myself.
My home park run is in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris which is a very nice setting and also completely flat. I was just in Australia and went to the run in Mona Vale just outside Sydney and there is hardly a metre of flat! Forget about slogging uphill, those guys are so fast on the downhills, even in rain on a wet track. Beautiful setting though in the Wildflower Gardens - highly recommended if you’re ever Sydney-side!
Woolacombe Dunes is definitely on my parkrun bucket list. Always wanted to run up a sandy mound of opportunity 😂. The best parkrun I have done to date was Killerton in Devon. I would love to do more parkrun tourism but I am not an early riser 😂
My online parkrun friend is in that parkrun that week doing some tourism on holiday! I saw the video of her finishing on here: 15:37 well done everyone that looks tough!
San Diego Mission Bay Park, adjacent to the beach, used to have a 3-mile run on Thursday afternoons during the early 80s. 40-50 people ran it from times 40 minutes down to occasionally 15 minutes. There were hamburgers chips and drink for five bucks for everyone afterwards -- great fun.
This video gave me PTSD. I took part in a 2 mile killer dunes race several years in a row on Jockey's ridge (the largest natural sand dune on the east coast of America). The dune of doom took me back to those times. All soft sand. pushing off, but going no where. It wrecked me
Beautiful. However try Holmwood near Woking maybe more vicious? A thousand sniper roots, plus mud and slippery in the wet. I call it my anti dementia training because of the need to focus.
You could have a go at Great Yarmouth park run. It’s mostly flat but pretty much all on sand so is allegedly one of the toughest. Personally I’m sticking to Norwich and I’d love to see you at that one.
I haven't done any park runs yet, as I am a carer for my severely disabled son and can't get the time to do one. The video shows you all enjoyed it and that's what it's all about. Thank you 🏃♂🏃♀👍
If your son is able to use a wheelchair you can push him round and you will both get a run credit as long asyou both have barcodes. Just check with the local team first, they will be able to give you a detailed description of the course and if necessary recommend a more suitable nearby event for you both.
@@lukedaniel7669 I wish is was that easy, he can only use a powered chair, also he suffers with epilepsy, along with a list of other conditions he has, which makes it tough. I barely get the time to run 3 times a week. I wish it was that easy and thank you for taking the time to respond with a comment. 😀
Definitely try Cornwall, I have two local runs and both have good hills Mount Edgecombe and Lanhydrock. Beautiful manor houses with runs in the gardens and woods
Ooh, want to try that one now - I've done Whinlatter in the Lake District, which is definitely one of the toughest five. After the initial downhill, it feels like constant uphill until just before the end. Or come and join us at Highwoods when it's been raining :)
You need to try Hafan Pwllheli parkrun! All beach but the sand swaps to gravel to rocks to hard sand... and the slower you are, the more the tide comes in.... the higher up the beach you go into the softer sand... which slows you down and the cycle repeats!!!
I did that last Saturday! It was low tide. A mixture of energy sapping soft sand, wet sand, shingle, ankle-twisting pebbles and hard packed sand. You never knew what your next step would do.
I'm a recent convert to Parkrun tourism of the alphabet kind, but having watched this video I'm gutted. You see, my local Parkrun is Whiteley in Hampshire. And the more astute of you will already have noticed that Whiteley begins with a 'W'. So I already have the 'W' Parkrun. That is a great shame... 😂 I recently ran the lovely Queen Elizabeth Country Park for my 'Q' and that was a tough hilly course up and down through forest trail and I enjoyed it, so maybe the Dunes ay Woolacombe are calling to me... Great video.
Try Durlston Country Park! It now holds the record for the most elevation in a parkrun. I was one of the rangers there and ran the Inaugural - I could show you round?
What an interesting video. Every run I do is on the beach pretty much because I live 3/8 of a mile from the beach. I did a 5k in sand dunes once and the hills were miserable.
Whinlatter forest Parkrun is a challenging rewarding one, woul definitely make for a good vid, especially if the lamas are around. Westpark Munich is my next epic tourism adventure. But will never beat Crissy fields that is no more 😢
You should try Northwich parkrun (where's Northwich I hear you cry?) Were in cheshire in carey country park. With 2 killer hills. Its a pretty tough course, up and down!

Hopefully they'll be more to come!
Great video. I've been a parkrunner for 8 years and this captures what's so good about it!
Glad to hear this Arron, the parkrun community has been so supportive of us, we love to work with them.
Looks exhausting just watching you guys run this track!
That looks like an awful/fantastic run to spend with friends. Love it!

I’ve also heard it’s usurped Woolacombe. Both are on my ParkRun tourism hit list

Another epic DUNE film. Was expecting Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya to pop up. Nicely done, team! ☀️👟☀️
Portrush in Northern Ireland is another sandy one
You need to try Hafan Pwllheli parkrun! All beach but the sand swaps to gravel to rocks to hard sand... and the slower you are, the more the tide comes in.... the higher up the beach you go into the softer sand... which slows you down and the cycle repeats!!!
Sounds like hell! We must send Sarah there to investigate. 😂😂😂
I did that last Saturday! It was low tide. A mixture of energy sapping soft sand, wet sand, shingle, ankle-twisting pebbles and hard packed sand. You never knew what your next step would do.
Try Seaton also in Devon. Predominantly flat along the promenade but starts and finishes on pebbles. Definitely a unique surface!
I did that ParkRun a few years ago. It’s an amazing ParkRun, definitely hard up the dune of doom and the finish is up hill 😥
Definitely would like to see it again in the summer
Great yarmouth north beach parkrun is all sand and is very very hard I only did 22 minutes and am a 17 minute 5k runner

Try Itchen Valley Parkrun outside Southampton in the depths of a wet winter. The muddiest, sloppiest, filthiest Parkrun I've found yet.
Try Durlston Country Park! It now holds the record for the most elevation in a parkrun. I was one of the rangers there and ran the Inaugural - I could show you round?
Woolacombe was on mine before covid as well as bushy. Bushy doing in April and Wollacombe in June
Good luck Martyn! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! 😀
Type II fun is a new one to me.
Type 1 fun - fun at the time. Type 2 fun - fun in retrospect. Type 3 fun - not fun at all.
It was new to us too 😂
Looked like great fun! Wish we had such runs here in the US. Ours our not nearly so epic!
Jolly good show!
You really need to try Pwllheli park run. It’s all on sand. Not even the firm stuff.

Been there many times, old and new course, fab parkrun xx
Would like you to take on the great yarmouth park run, which is supposed to be the hardest....all on sand
Thanks for the suggestion! All sand sounds..... tough 😅
You should try Northwich parkrun (where's Northwich I hear you cry?) Were in cheshire in carey country park. With 2 killer hills. Its a pretty tough course, up and down!
Have you tried Watergrove? A very tough trail run.
