VOLUNTEERS are being sought to bring parkrun to Crediton for the first time.

A “core team” of 20 volunteers are wanted to make the weekly fitness event a reality in the town.

The five-kilometre course would be around the Barnfield area.

“Parkrun is coming to town!” wrote Debbie Keast on Facebook.

“Since... September myself, Julie and Liv have been working hard to make it work and with the agreement from Mid Devon parkrun ambassador, Karla, we are ready to submit the 5K course around the Barnfield area with fantastic views.

“We have two event directors and four run directors who will oversee and take turns to head up the event every Saturday on a rotating basis.”

If you would like to volunteer, send Ms Keast a message on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/creditoncommunitynoticeboard/permalink/3285497028294472/#.

There are currently no parkruns in Mid Devon. The nearest venue is Okehampton, which held its first parkrun in October 2024.
