There were almost more volunteers than runners at junior parkrun this morning thanks to last night's storm putting a dampener on festivities!

Simon brought with him an entire crew of taskers to support a speedy group of sporting superstars as they pelted around the course at London Fields, navigating the Hackney Carnival floats and stands.

One of our quickest ever parkruns, despite the wet ground underfoot, and all was wrapped up within 45 minutes, with a bunch of big smiles from all the children as they crossed the finish line.


This task supported

parkrun organise free, weekly, 2km timed runs for young people around the world. They are open to 4-14 year olds, free, and are safe and easy to take part in.
