SALISBURY’S parkrun Walk2Run Initiative launches on Saturday.

The free 5km event, round Churchill Gardens, is aimed at those who have done little or no regular exercise.

Event director Elizabeth Roberts said: “We have a bit of a mission at Salisbury parkrun in wanting to encourage locals to get active and improve their health and fitness levels. We welcome all abilities and we are very much looking forward to getting our Walk2Run Initiative underway.”

People are asked to get to Churchill Gardens for 8.40am for an introduction briefing ahead of the 9am start.
