Tomorrow we will be organising the second in our new series of junior running events.
Starting at 10 am on North Moor , our timed 2k run is open to all children from age 4 to 14 years.
We plan to continue with a monthly free to enter , all abilities, run on the second Sunday of each month.
Based very much on the Junior parkrun scheme by parkrun UK we hope eventually to raise enough money to get it formally accepted by parkrun UK but that might take some time. We plan to publish results each month and to show progress through out the year. We can only do this with help from family and friends and members of Langport Runners.
A race report will be posted after the event.
This Blog was started because Nicky was trying to raise money for a charity whilst having fun running across the Sahara desert. I'm now changing its aim to concentrate on our Junior club events Especially our fun run on Northstreet Moor

Parkrun UK. Can Langport be the first Junior Parkrun in Somerset?
I hope to use this blog to provide information about our efforts to start a Junior Parkrun event in Langport. Here is a notice of the next step towards our goal. We are also busy raising funds to allow registration with Parkrun UK
Langport Runners Junior
Club fun run event aiming to become an official Junior Parkrun in

members who are working to set up a Junior Parkrun in Langport. All
our local schools will benefit. Open to all from 4 to 14 years. All
