Everyone’s free to join the crowd of four to 14-year-olds in the weekly junior parkrun; two clockwise laps of Alexandra rec.

This summer the event celebrated its 500th run, with 226 finishers, underlining its popularity.

The first one took place at the ground off King Charles Road in August 2015, and it just keeps building.

It’s 2km, and is marshalled by 44 volunteers. Average finish time is just under 13 minutes. Start point is near the cricket pavilion.
