Bovington: Tank museum new junior fitness parkrun for ages 4 - 14


The Tank Museum is now a host of junior parkrun, giving young people the opportunity to run, jog, or walk around the grounds housing the world’s finest collection of tanks.

Junior parkrun is for children aged 4-14 and is completely volunteer-driven, priding itself on combining fitness, fun, and community spirit.

The course, which is the only one of its kind currently on the Isle of Purbeck, starts at the Challenger 1 tank outside the Museum’s entrance before passing the Vehicle Conservation Centre and Kuwait Arena.


Spectators and runners can enjoy refreshments from The Tank Museum’s outdoor kiosk, which is open from 9am.

Children are welcome to take part every Sunday at 9am. It’s free to take part, but runners must register to receive a completion time. To register to run, visit: www.parkrun.org.uk/thetankmuseum-juniors/. Find out about volunteering by emailing: thetankmuseumjuniors@parkrun.com.
