Great News! We have a new Junior Park Run for Maidstone. Previously, called the Parkwood Junior Parkrun, where it took place for 7 years until the running area was needed for re-development. Event Director, Keeley Frazer-Wise immediately sought a new venue and it became Mote Park Junior Parkrun. Read the parkrun Maidstone article below for more details.
