This is a fun, free 2k event which you can walk, jog or run that takes place every Sunday. 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.

Suitable for?

Those under 4 years can join in (eg. walking, in a buggy) with an adult if they are also running with someone over 4 years. Those under 11 will need an adult to come and supervise them throughout the event.
