Cockermouth Greenway junior parkrun now has its own page. The junior parkrun takes place every Sunday at 9am and is for 4-14 year olds. Everyone welcome. Your juniors can walk it or run it. Marshals are spaced 100m apart so juniors are always in line of sight and it's x4 laps of 500m, so it's easy to keep an eye on everyone.

Full details on the FB page. Remember, if needing to drive, please park in the town car parks and walk down. Thank you.

Please share with your friends.

Great news! 36 runners and walkers took part in our practice Cockermouth Greenway junior parkrun on Sunday morning in glorious spring sunshine.

Everything was set up as a junior parkrun will be, and it was fabulous to see an amazing group test out the course on behalf of all those who will in future be able to take part. A massive thank you to all of you!

A big Hi-Five also goes to all the volunteers who supported, and worked as a team this morning! What a great feel, let's roll this into future events!

Although times aren't official, they are shared in the post below.

We are hoping for an official start date to be confirmed shortly so thank you all for making today possible!

If you would like to volunteer in future please get in touch with me via WhatsApp: 07805 094701

See you all again soon!

This is a FREE event.

Please register your child with parkrun before joining. This is FREE and only needs to be done once. Also, please help us by registering yourself and then volunteering. It's a lovely thing to do. Come and find me (Sam Ayers) or Katie Harper on the day.

Cockermouth junior parkrun PRACTICE event. I need the help of your junior runners and walkers please. Sunday 6th April 9am.

Please share.

Hello
We are excited to be close to setting up Cockermouth Greenway junior parkrun.
Once up and running it will be a weekly, free, 2Km, timed event for young people, supported by volunteers.
We'd like to invite 4 to 14 year olds from your group and their siblings to run or walk our practice event at 9am on 6th of April.

Please arrive at 8.45am for a short briefing and warm up at Bellbrigg Lonning Park, Cockermouth, CA13 9BZ. https://w3w.co/spinning.flinch.variation

Ideally we'd like participants registered with parkrun so we can scan barcodes and share a practice event result sheet afterwards. As this is a test event, the results will not be official, so they won’t be included on participants parkrun profiles.
You can register here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register/

And here is a little more info about junior parkrun and will apply to our practice event: https://support.parkrun.com/hc/en-us/articles/20039077073554-1-6-What-is-junior-parkrun
