Sisters Danielle Hutchinson and Vickie Jamieson have taken over the leadership of Bramley Junior Parkrun.
The 2km free event is held every Sunday morning in Bramley Park for children aged between four and 14 years old.
Vickie said:
“It’s the happiest way to start a Sunday morning, the children have such enthusiasm you can’t help but enjoy taking part.
“Parkrun has given me so much, I know the huge benefits it can provide participants and volunteers so I wanted to become part of the parkrun family to help introduce others so they can experience the same thing.”
Danielle added:
“It’s the happiest way to start a Sunday morning, the children have such enthusiasm you can’t help but enjoy taking part.”
How do children join junior parkrun?
