Junior Parkrun

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We’re exploring the idea of launching a Sunday junior parkrun. This will be a fun 2K event for young children (age 4-14) to run or walk around in Northstowe each Sunday from 9am. However, this can only go ahead if we establish a core team of volunteers to support the event. If you’d like to be part of something special and help inspire the next generation of parkrunners, we’d love to hear from you! Contact us at bughunterwaters@parkrun.com to get involved. Please share this with anyone else who might be interested—we’d love to spread the word and make this happen! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
