· Children can run alone.

· Children under the age of 11 must be accompani

ed to/from the event by a parent/guardian, and the parent/guardian must remain in attendance for the duration of the event.

· Parents/guardians can take part but they must accompany a junior runner. A maximum of two adults per child will be allowed.

· Adult runners are not permitted to run across the finish line.

· Buggies are allowed, but only if the adult pushing the buggy is accompanying a junior runner. Worth discussing course conditions with organisers before setting off.

· Children must be visible by a marshal at all times during the event, so please volunteer.

· Registration will include contact name and details of parent/guardian. Parents do not need to register.

· The use of scooters, balance bikes, trikes or cycles is prohibited.

· Dogs or other pets are not allowed to take part.

· Children can volunteer for duties at finish.

- we actively encourage those who are working toward the Duke of Edinburgh Award to complete the "service" part with us as we have many weekly roles that require just an older role model for the young people taking part.

Medication - if your child suffers requires an Asthma pump / Epipen, please ensure they are in-date and that they know how to use them

What a morning! A lovely start to Sunday, we loved welcoming everyone for our 100th event in Barking Park.

It’s been two years since we moved to the park and we have loved seeing our event grow. Our event has been running for 11 years and it’s wonderful to welcome new families every week.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. Well done to our 44 finishers. We welcomed 2 first timers and saw 12 personal bests set.

Congratulations to our milestone juniors:

Aidan = 11 events = half marathon = 💙
Fatima = 21 events = marathon = 💚

We were thrilled that two parents have come forward to join our regular roster of volunteers and started training on barcode scanning straight away.

If you’re interested in joining in then please have a chat with the Run Director on Sunday.

Thanks for helping us celebrate this special occasion.

See you next week!
