Picture gallery – fancy dress on show in 300th staging of the Eastney Junior parkrun at Bransbury Park

Youngsters donned fancy dress to take part in the 300th staging of the popular Eastney Junior parkrun.

The event has been held on a weekly basis since January 2015 - apart from during national lockdowns - at Portsmouth’s Bransbury Park.

In that time, thousands of local youngsters - aged 4 to 14 - have competed in the events which are held over a 2k distance.

Jonah Tildesley was first to finish in the 300th event, in a personal best time of 7 minutes and 20 seconds. Romilly Baker, a member of the City of Portsmouth AC, was third and first girl in 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

Jonah’s time was the fastest at an Eastney parkrun since Toby Loughlin clocked 6 minutes and 54 seconds at the 273rd staging of the event last October.
