Clough Hall junior parkrun

G

The Clough Hall junior parkrun is a weekly free 2k timed event for juniors and takes place every Sunday at 9am in Clough Hall Park.

It’s a 2k run for children aged 4-14. The run isn’t a race but is very much a community event where children of all abilities are encouraged to take part and enjoy it whether they run, jog, walk or skip. Runners do need to register on the website before their first time – https://www.parkrun.org.uk/cloughhall-juniors/

The event is solely run by volunteers and the organisors would like to hear from anyone intersted in helping out as they need a minimum of 14 volunteers each week for the event. [Read more…]
