Volunteers were working for some time with the parkrun organisation to set up a junior parkrun in Abingdon’s Southern Town Park. The first successful run was on Sunday 7 July 2024. This Sunday was the eighth event so it is well established.

Junior parkruns are for children between the ages of 4-14. They are 2km long and taking part is free and all junior parkruns start at 9am on Sunday mornings. There is information about taking part and registering and volunteering at https://www.parkrun.org.uk/southerntown-juniors/

The event is also supported by Healthy Abingdon. Thanks to Dave from Healthy Abingdon for the pictures from his page: https://healthyabingdon.org.uk/news.htm#parkrun.
