Who doesn’t love a free family activity? Junior parkrun is a 2k event every Sunday at 9am for young people aged four to 14 and their families.

Wymondham’s nearest junior parkrun events are currently at Watton Sports Centre and in Norwich at Eaton Park and Lea Bridges Park. But soon young people and their families will be able to come along to Wymondham High Academy and walk, jog, run or volunteer at a brand new junior parkrun.

So that Wymondham High Academy’s junior parkrun can take place safely each Sunday, we need a team of volunteers who can help out with marshalling, setting up the course, handing out tokens, scanning barcodes, and being “run directors” on the day. If you’d like to be part of a community event, or you’re the parent or guardian of a young person who wants to get involved, volunteering could be a great way to spend your Sunday mornings.

To find out a bit more about junior parkrun and how to get involved, please come along to a free community meeting on Tuesday 21 April at 6:30pm at Wymondham High Academy. There’ll be a presentation about junior parkrun, and a chance for you to ask questions and find out more.

For more information, or if you’re unable to attend the meeting, you can email wymondhamjuniors@gmail.com.
