The Junior parkrun is now held in 112 venues in the country and is expanding fast.
Thanks to sponsorship from the Rotary Club of Worthing, Worthing Community Chest and Worthing & Adur Council the Junior parkrun held at Worthing Leisure Centre is up and running. It was launched on 26th Jaunuary 2020 and is a weekly 2K timed event held each Sunday for juniors 4 -14 years old.
The first attracted 140 juniors and the second on 2 February had 133
It's a Fun Free Event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone, open and inclusive and of course disabled people may participate.
President Marlene Butler along with fellow Rotarians were delighted to be able to be part of such a wonderful continuous event, run weekly for the youngsters of our town. This is such a healthy way to get out and about and have fun with family and friends whilst gaining useful exercise. Why not come along?!
