CHILDREN and teenagers are being urged to get running this weekend at Lund Park in Keighley.

The team hoping to set up a weekly Junior Parkrun in Keighley are having another pilot event to attract both runners and volunteers.

Parkruns are held at same time every week at hundreds of locations across the UK, as part of a worldwide movement.

In Keighley there have been three pilot Junior Parkruns for the families of volunteers, but this is the first time one has been open to all youngsters aged four to 14.

Jo Horrox, one of the organisers, said anyone interested should turn up on Sunday, June 11 at about 8.45am to register their child’s names, ready for a 9am start.

She said: “The run is 2km, twice round the park. The route will be marked out and there’ll be volunteers, so no child is will be out of eyesight at any time.”
