Popular Barnstaple 10K run returns with flat course and early bird deals
The Care for Kids Barnstaple 10K is back, and this year’s event promises to be bigger, better, and flatter than ever.
Whether you're a seasoned sprinter or a first-time fun-runner, now’s the time to hit the ground running—literally—by snagging an early bird discount before it disappears faster than a runner at the starting gun.
The Care for Kids Barnstaple 10k will take place on Sunday, June 8, starting and finishing at Barnstaple Rugby Club. There will be a medal and t-shirt for all finishers and prizes for the fastest runners in each age category. Early bird entry is available for the next month, until Friday, February 14, at a discounted rate of £22 for affiliated runners and £24 for unaffiliated runners.

It’s a largely flat route, which makes it the ideal race for beginners and experienced runners hoping to achieve a personal best. The Barnstaple 10k is supported by headline sponsor Brewer, Harding & Rowe Solicitors and primary sponsors Leo Workwear and Advanced Pallet Systems. There is still the opportunity for other local businesses to sponsor the event. Get in touch with Care for Kids North Devon if your business would like to get involved.
Care for Kids charity manager, Jacky Massos, says: “Our Barnstaple 10K is always a really fun event, popular with both seasoned runners and beginners because it’s a mostly flat course. It’s also a charity event, so all your entry fee is being spent to help local families in need in North Devon. Get in quick if you want to take advantage of our early bird offer. We also need volunteers and more sponsors, so if you’d like to do something amazing for our small charity, please get in touch.”
All proceeds from the run will go towards local charity Care for Kids North Devon, which provides financial support to North Devon families who have a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness or condition. Care for Kids also carries out enhancements at the children’s ward at North Devon District Hospital.
