St Peter’s Junior parkrun Takeover: Join Us on Sunday 27 September!
We are delighted to invite all St Peter’s children and their families to take part in our St Peter’s Junior parkrun Takeover at 9:00am on Sunday 27 September.
This exciting community event is a wonderful opportunity for children to experience the fun of junior parkrun, enjoy being active outdoors and take part alongside friends and families from our school community. Whether your child is a regular runner, a keen walker or would simply like to give something new a try, everyone is welcome.
As part of the takeover, families are encouraged to seek sponsorship to support the invaluable work of the Friends of St Peter’s (FOSP). Donations can be made through our JustGiving page:
Junior parkrun is a free, fun and friendly 2km event for children aged 4 to 14. It encourages children to develop healthy habits, build confidence and enjoy exercise in a supportive environment.
A recent article in the Harrogate Advertiser highlighted the growing importance of junior parkrun in tackling inactivity amongst primary-aged children and promoting physical and mental wellbeing across the Harrogate district. The article also celebrated the role schools can play in encouraging children to be active and engaged in their local communities.
Events such as junior parkrun perfectly reflect our school vision of Love, Learn, Shine. Children can show love through encouraging and supporting one another, learn the value of perseverance and healthy lifestyles, and shine as they challenge themselves and celebrate their achievements.
We look forward to seeing lots of St Peter’s families there for a fantastic morning of fun, fitness and community spirit! 🌟
