This is a fun, free 2k event which you can walk, jog or run that takes place every Sunday. The course is entirely on smooth tarmac. It is an inclusive event for 4-14 year olds but participation for all is encouraged. Equally, children and young adults who use wheelchairs are also very welcome to participate. This event is marshalled. Children under 11 need a adult with them to supervise, but the adult does not have to participate in the event.
