After a short run across town, Area Activator Simon was joined by John, Alison, Louise and Emily just before the start of Caledonian Park junior parkrun, a lovely free weekly timed 2km run set up by local volunteers for youngsters to run independently. Two big laps of this lovely green park, with a additional extension to allow our runners to finish underneath the famous Caledonian Market Clock Tower (Goodgym Islington were present for the demo run many years ago!).

Between our team of course marshals, timekeepers, funnel managers and warm-up leaders, we allowed 21 children from ages 4-14 years old to run around the park safely!

Following our clear up and close down, we enjoyed some warm refreshments at Koyo coffee house near Shearing Way, before Simon, Alison and Louise ran 2 miles together to Elthorne Park near Archway for a session of Christmas Tree Pick-ups!
