VOLUNTEERS are being sought to help bring Junior Parkrun to Wellington.

The global sports brand wants to put on Sunday morning events in Wellington Park for young people aged four to 14 years.

Town councillors gave local organisers a £4,800 grant two months ago, but still have to find enough helpers to start the runs.

They need five ‘run directors’ and 20 other people for a variety of roles such as marshalling, timekeeping, scanning barcodes, and handing out finish tokens.

The events start at 8.50 am with runners covering one-and-a-quarter miles in a circuit of the park’s paths.

A spokesperson said: “The smiles, confidence, and community you will help build at Wellington junior parkrun could last a lifetime.”
