Below is a selection of some of the races available for Juniors throughout the year. There aren’t many Junior focused races so it is worth looking at Senior races to check to see if they also have a fun run. Fun runs are a great way for U11s to race as many of the other races begin at U13.
Here are some links to different race directories:
