Despite horrendous weather conditions that persisted throughout the event, six children joined me at Great Notley Discovery Centre for their first junior parkrun. After completing the warm-up, they set off with their parents (I opted for chief cheerleader after already completing my own run earlier!). 

All the children completed the 2km course and there were lots of smiles and proud parents at the finish. It was lovely to hear one of the children asking if they could go again next weekend. So safe to say the weather didn't put them off.

I will let you know the next time I am going to be at parkrun for the junior event and hopefully, more of you will be able to come along. If you don't want to wait, remember junior parkrun is on every Sunday at 9am whatever the weather!

A massive well done to the children who took part yesterday.
