Attempting the UK's Hardest Parkrun - Woolacombe Dunes

🏃‍♂️📝 JOG ON Training Plans: www.thisisjogo...
👕🧡 JOG ON running kit: www.thisisjogo...
The UK is home to many parkruns, but out of all of them, which is considered the UK’s hardest parkrun? For many, that title goes to Woolacombe Dunes parkrun.
One reason for Woolacombe Dunes gaining the reputation it has is because the route involves sand dunes. I recently took the JOG ON van the night before to find this ominous 5K, try it for myself and see if it really is, the hardest parkrun in the country.
Now knocked from the top spot of slowest parkrun, perhaps next, I'll have to check out Great Yarmouth North Beach.

Cheers to Woolacombe Dunes for putting on a spectacular 5K and thanks to you for watching. We're a very small channel, so if you'd like to, consider subscribing for more running adventures. If you like the look of the JOG ON Hoodie: www.thisisjogon.com/shop Go for that run, and JOG ON

[@hamwhacker]

Inspired by you, I did the Woolacombe park run. I am not fast but it was EPIC. I wanted time to stand still when we got down to run the beach section. I wouldn’t have minded if running by the sea lasted forever. All the runners and volunteers (who I am eternally grateful for despite being one regularly myself) were brilliant company.

[@yellowfolder]

That first-timer's briefing guy gave an incredibly detailed course description.

[@thisisjogon]

He really did didn’t he. Superb for video purposes - he likely knows every grain of sand on that route. Dedicated.

[@4ndy123]

Must be boring for the regulars though 🤣

[@yellowfolder]

@@4ndy123 Regulars tend not to attend too many "first timer's briefings" as it's inherently difficult to attend a parkrun for the first time more than once.

[@davidmanleywales]

@@Wild96productions first timer briefings are usually given separately to the regular everyone gets it run briefing

[@derekrunsagain]

Congratulations on getting that number 1 after so many years of parkruns. They say it's not a race. But let's be honest, who wouldn't like finishing first? The course looked awesome too!

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Derek

[@johnkerr6466]

I did Woolacombe 4 years ago in August - it was pouring with rain and up to 50mph wind gusts! It is still one of my all-time favourite runs and was absolutely beautiful! I want to go back and do it again.

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing, it's absolutely one of the best I've done Cheers John

[@BenParkes]

Great run and video Harry! Planning on giving this one a go soon myself. Congratulations on the 1st finisher!

[@tobyk8125]

Rematch with Sarah?!

[@thisisjogon]

It's the OG himself. Thanks Ben, Great Yarmouth approaches - though judging from your video there I'm in for some painful legs. All the best, Harry

[@cole.-4688]

Please do mate, woolwcombe is one of my favourite places in this country. Make sure you eat at the woolacombe bay brasserie and say hi to the owner Sally for me! 😂

[@philstone2610]

The coastal path between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe is well worth a trip down there as well. Awesome, stunning and ridiculously challenging. Love it.

[@thisisjogon]

Will take a look, some beautiful coastline around there

[@mikestevenson1334]

Congrats getting number 1, Harry! Those dunes looked energy-sapping for sure! Loved the reflections on the sand. It might be the hardest park run, but it looks like one of the most beautiful. Great job!

[@thisisjogon]

That mirror-like sand was quite something Cheers Mike and hoping that you're doing well Harry

[@roadrunner3481]

Love this video Harry. Been watching a lot of your videos since I first discovered this channel a few months back. I usually put some of your videos on the tv at my parents and they all are hooked! Big fan from Sweden. Now we are waiting for “Visiting Sweden for a parkrun” episode! ❤

[@thisisjogon]

Hello to Sweden! Love this, say hi to the family too. Visited Sweden just once so far, hoping to get back one day and run there again. 🧡 Thanks for the support

[@condor5150]

Nice video! I'm a 51 year old Yankee runner who just stumbled across your channel. I've been struggling to run a sub 20 min 5k in my 50's! For me running on hard pack sand during the low tides is a way of life for me. Thanks for showing the healthy side of the UK. My last trips there were very boozy so running never entered my mind. Just drinking and spinning around on my folding bike. Now I'm inspired to go running in the countryside of England.

[@thisisjogon]

Love this comment, thanks for checking the video out. The countryside of England is calling.

[@VirtualTrailRunning]

I haven’t filmed any virtual trail run videos in the UK yet but it’s sure to happen someday!

[@geoffh2560]

Nice work. Here in the Lake District we still believe Whinlatter Forest is the toughest course, basically running up a mountain, come and try it!

That P1 came out of nowhere! Bravo! - Mack

[@tarnate8695]

I happen to be on holiday in Devon and visited that beach, it is very beautiful as you say. The scenic route looking over the beach is brilliant seeing all of the dunes.

[@thisisjogon]

It's still my favourite parkrun I've done

[@runningshorts-90]

Great run well done on 1st👏👏👏. I've done Whinlatter and Woolacombe and was actually 45 seconds faster at Woolacombe (21.13 vs 21.59) but the conditions were quite good when I did it.

What a great parkrun experience you had -- Would love to give this a go - If over In Ireland - feel free to give me a shout as I have completed every single one on the island - We have a few beach ones but the hardest in my opinion is between these 3 -- Crawfordsburn, Castlehaven & Rostrevor; We also have one of the quickest runs in Belfast Victoria

I ran Woolacombe Dunes in summer 2019. That dune is vicious on the legs - it’s like a travellator. Not helped by me cycling over from Ilfracombe (and the cycle back was tough on the legs too). Great course - would do it again if I was back in that part of the world.

[@thisisjogon]

Still my favourite parkrun I’ve ever done

[@zaaxi7424]

[@XenomorphUK]

Hi Harry XenomorphUK here (sorry couldnt resist), Epic effort, its definitly on the list for me and the Mrs to do. I did Great Yarmouth last summer just after the council decided to rake the entire course making it really soft under foot. Its the first time i had ever walked on a parkrun when running on my own, my legs were in hell and the hurt locker that day. Its on my channel if you or anyone wants to see it, really hope you do go and compare it but the two courses are chalk and cheese as theres no hills on the Yarmouth one. Keep up the amazing vids and JOG ON.

[@thisisjogon]

Hello XenomorphUK, thank you very much yes I'd recommend. Will be hitting Great Yarmouth this year and yes will take a look thank you - it could be interesting. Cheers for always supporting 🧡

[@TheChrevil]

Just found your channel, I find it motivating and entertaining. Now I just started running again after a 2 month break and I have my sights set on a certain event at Dalby Forest in june, if you fancy soemthing a bit different. "Dalby's Inferno and the 10 Circles of Suffering" A 5k loop through the Depths of Dalby Forest on the hour. Every Hour. For. 10. Hours....

This is such a fantastic video. The workmanship in your presenting, filming and editing is top notch and I hope you achieve a bigger audience over time. I like that you cover a range of running experiences and abilities in your videos. It's fun to see you run with elite athletes but also heartening to see you encourage people of more modest skills break 30min over 5km. More power to you. Also props to the extraordinarily talented cameraperson (woman!)

Well done on your first place. At the age of 61 I'm not sure that will happen for me. But I never give up hope. Have you done Whinlatter yet? I was 6 minutes slower than my normal time. For me Whinlatter is still the toughest parkrun.

[@thisisjogon]

Never give up. Whinlatter is often mentioned, I will get there at some point

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

Used to go to Woolacombe all the time as a kid, those sand dunes are no joke! I struggled walking up them, let alone running 😂

[@thisisjogon]

Absolutely, they make you feel like you're nearly going backwards

[@SteveSalisbury]

Looks, um, fun(?!). I run all mine at Salisbury, possibly the easiest parkrun, as it's local. However the one and only one I've done besides is at Durlston in Swanage. I'm shocked to not even see it on the list of hardest Parkruns as they boast it to be the UK's hilliest parkrun. Now I'm not the fittest, but I am good at not walking when I'm tired and insetad plodding to recover heart-rate. That course had me walking with my hands on my knees for support up a particularly steep bit 50m(ish) stretch you had to endure 3 times. Would love to see you run that one. Beautiful setting too!

[@thisisjogon]

Will check it out Steve, thanks for watching and sharing!

Woolacombe is a great park run (try the North Devon marathon!) but I thought Durlston Castle in Dorset is now considered the hardest one!

[@thisisjogon]

In all the research we put in, that never even came up, however it’s likely because it’s so new. A quick search suggests it’s got a very slow average finish time, even a few seconds slower than Woolacombe but still not as slow as Great Yarmouth - possibly these lists will get updated and Durlston will make an appearance near the top. We’ll have to see

@@thisisjogon I'm sure you're right Harry. Also, because its so young it tends to only have local runners. I think when summer holiday makers come and have a go the average time will go down!
