MID Devon Leisure is seeking volunteers to help bring junior parkruns to the district.

The free weekly two-kilometre events would be open to children between four and 14 years of age and take place at Westexe Park in Tiverton and the CCA fields in Cullompton.

“Junior parkrun is a fantastic way for children to experience the thrill of completing a two-kilometre course, a chance to make friends along the way or simply enjoy their time outdoors, all of which can be a game-changer for children's mental health,” a Mid Devon Leisure spokesperson said.

For more information or if you would like to volunteer, email [email protected].

Parkrun is a nationwide weekly five-kilometre fitness event which takes place every Saturday in more than 800 locations. Junior parkruns are two kilometres in length.

There are currently no parkruns in Mid Devon. The nearest venue is Okehampton, which held its first parkrun on October 26 last year.
