Parkrun have launched a fantastic new initiative called parkrun primary. It aims to link all primary schools with their local 2km junior parkrun events. Junior parkruns take place every Sunday morning at 9.00 in parks across the country, including 3 in the
Bradford district. I am part of the core team at Bowling Park junior parkrun and would encourage primary schools to sign up and link up with your local event.
There is more information about parkrun primary here: parkrun primary initiative | parkrun UK Blog with details about how to register your school.

I would be more than happy to come into school to speak to the children about junior parkrun, about the benefits for physical and mental health, and about how much fun it is! I am a regular run director at Bowling Park junior parkrun, and constantly speak
to the children at my school about coming to join us. It would be great to get more primary schools engaged with parkrun.
Please get in touch if you would like me to come and talk to the children, or if you would just like some more information: jonathan.harris@rainbow.staracademies.org or bowlingparkjuniors@parkrun.com
