Park Run Registration If you want to register online before the event:  https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/?eventName=bolberrydown  If registering for the first time Bolberry Down can be used as the 'home parkrun'. Once you have registered you will be issued with a barcode. A participant's barcode can be presented at the end of the run as a paper print-out, or on a mobile phone/smart watch. No bar code = no official result.
Our team of volunteers will then use the results to work out medals for each category. 
Dogs Dogs are welcome, 1 per runner on a short, hand-held lead, no waist-harnesses allowed.
Medal presentation The presentation of medals will be back on Harbour Beach at 1pm.
