THE HARLOW Junior parkrun has celebrated its third birthday.

The 2k run for children aged up to 14 years of age takes place at 9am every Sunday morning around the showground area of the town park.

Over 50 participants take part each week. All of the young runners/walkers are encouraged to compete against themselves and enjoy physical activity.

Well done to course director, Catherine Penketh and her team of volunteers who are doing so much to encourage a healthy lifestyle for young people.
