A free, fun, and friendly weekly 2km event for juniors (4 to 14 year olds), every Sunday at 9am. The event takes place at Caledonian Park, Market Road, London, N7 9PL. The event is entirely organised by volunteers. Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee in the wonderful Tolpuddle Cafe in the park next to the clocktower and playground - please come and join us!
The aim is to get children involved, active and enjoying themselves in green spaces. As well as the benefits of physical activity for children, some adults also participate alongside their children, supporting their physical activity too. Furthermore it is clear that there are mental health benefits of being active in green spaces. Finally, it develops a sense of community among the children, adults and volunteers involved, as well as introducing the concept of civic engagement (volunteering) to children.
