York schoolgirl completes 250 park runs before 15th birthday

A schoolgirl is set to complete her 250th junior parkrun ahead of turning 15 when she will only be able to participate in the general category.

Josie, 14, from York, is the first junior parkrunner at the Knavesmire event to achieve the milestone, and is also weeks away from reaching her 100th time volunteering.

The community-led event covers a distance of 2km (1.24 miles) and is open to anyone between the ages of four to 14.

Josie said: "It doesn't matter whether you're running, walking, skipping, jogging - just come down, bring some friends and then it's a lot more fun."
