We headed to Evesham Velo Park Junior parkrun<\/a> for a spot of volunteering. My husband did barcode scanning again and this week I did the warm up, tail-walking and token sorting. You can read more about Junior parkrun<\/a> on my previous post.<\/p>\n\n\n

Facilities at Evesham Velo Park Junior parkrun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is an established Junior parkrun that recently moved to its new location. Previously it was by the river but now it\u2019s at Evesham Velo Park. This means there is plenty of parking. We made the mistake of parking in the first car park but you follow it around where you will find plenty more. Plus that it closer to the start\/finish.<\/p>\n\n\n

Also accessible by train, bicycle or on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also toilets and a caf\u00e9 in the pavilion. We didn\u2019t make use of either of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evesham Velo Park Junior parkrun Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A nice, easy to follow course consisting of 2 lots of 1km laps. This is all enclosed and marshalled. Offering some varied gentle bends and gradients on wide asphalt paths.<\/p>\n\n\n

Near the end of the second lap you can move over to the right to finish, which has cones to make this clear. Obviously those on their first lap are asked to also keep left to allow others to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evesham Velo Park Junior parkrun Results Event 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a relatively fast Junior parkrun in terms of overall finishers in my opinion,. By looking at the results I knew there was no way I could keep up with last place walking. That doesn\u2019t mean to say you should be put off as there is always a tailwalker. Also it felt like a very inclusive parkrun and a great one for beginners – especially in terms of the course itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
