For Children’s Mental Health Week 2025, parkrun is diving into why junior parkrun, and being active, can be life-changing for children’s mental wellbeing and sharing some incredible stories of the difference it makes.
The connection between physical activity and mental well-being is no secret, and junior parkrun is proving to be a great way to boost children’s happiness and confidence. With over 490 events, supporting hundreds of thousands of children across the UK, Ireland, and Australia, parkrun is helping children build resilience, self-esteem, and a love of movement that lasts a lifetime.
