Two budding young runners are due to break a record come December as they become the first two teenagers to take part in 250 Junior Parkruns.
Ethan Rulton, 12 and Cheyanne Stonebridge, 14 have been competing in parkruns since its inception in January 2017 and on 1 December, they will both become joint local record holders as they both reach the 250 mark.
A great effort considering there have only ever been 320 editions of the Junior Parkrun.
Junior Parkruns take place every Sunday at Jubilee Park and is a free, fun, and friendly weekly 2km event for juniors, suitable for those aged 4 to 14 years old.
There is also a new Junior Parkrun taking place at Denham Country Park, Queen Eleanor Drive in Great Denham of which you can find out more details here.
Mayor of Bedford, Tom Wootton (Conservative) will also be present on 1 December to mark the special occasion.
The Junior Parkrun has evolved off the back of the Parkrun phenomenon, the adult version of which takes place every Saturday morning from 9am at Bedford Park as well as other locations across the Borough.
The Junior Parkrun is entirely organised by volunteers and you can email bedfordjuniors@parkrun.com if you want to get involved, while the 5km adult version takes place every Saturday from 9am at Bedford Park.
