The organisers of the St Mary's Campus 2km junior parkrun in Gurranabraher was cancelled on Sun 29th Oct due to a lack of volunteers. Considering the blue skies and sunshine, it would have been a perfect day for the event.
Considering its central location on the northside of Cork City, this junior parkrun for 4-14 year olds should be getting more volunteers and participants. Last week was it's 25th edition and the long term average is just 17 participants.
I think a big problem with this event is that many of the locals just don't know it exists or what it is.
Suggestion... I presume there must be some Facebook Groups for areas like Gurranabraher, Knocknaheeney, Farranree and Churchfield. If you're in one of those groups, why not put up a post about the St Mary's Junior parkrun and let locals know that it's on. You can link this post if you want.
1) It's for 4-14 year olds
2) It's free
3) It's on every Sunday at 9:30am.
