If you haven't heard of junior parkrun, then it's a free 2km event for children aged 4 to 14. You don't have to run it - you can walk it, jog it, skip it - or even combine all three! - and everyone is welcome.

Wymondham High Academy have kindly said they are willing to host this on their playing fields. It's likely to be a 2.5 lap course.

We are now keen to hear from people who could be volunteers at the event. We specifically need a core team of around 10-12 people to undertake a variety of roles, such as checking the inbox regularly, responding to queries and coordinating the volunteer rota. In addition to this, every week we need regular marshals to cheer on junior parkrunners, timekeepers, barcode scanners and tail walkers – because no one comes last at parkrun!

If you're interested in finding out more or getting involved, please sign up to our mailing list – wymondhamjuniors@gmail.com – to be updated on test events, volunteer opportunities and start date. Over the summer, we will be finalising the course, and we hope to launch the event in the early Autumn.

And of course, we will let Wymondham Magazine readers know when the event is up and running - pun intended!
