This fun and friendly 2k run has been running every Sunday morning since April 10.

Starting from 9am, the parkrun is intended for anyone aged between four and 14; while adults can accompany children, they don't have to as the course is marshalled and signed.

The organisers grab a post parkrun coffee in the café by the lake every week, and are keen for others to join them.
