...not even the runners! Obviously, they stop at the end of the three lap course, but there can be multiple stops in-between, depending on the runner.

Our tail walker had numerous little stops en route to the finish today, until the children themselves came up with the magical solution - once you've finished, go to the back and run alongside those still going, genius! This is just the motivation required for any young person starting to feel a bit tired. In fact, by the end of the run, our tail walker was completely alone, as the final runners sprinted over the line!

It was a first time at this junior parkrun for Ashton and Harvey, and they both stayed on for the next task in Abbey Lesnes Woods, well done guys!
