A spokesman for the Parkrun event said: “You can walk, run, skip, jump or whatever takes you to complete it.

“There will be lots of support and the staff will be with you every step of the way.

“Please don’t be put off by the runners or the title, a 20 minute 5k is the same as an hour 5k.

“There will be tea, coffee and refreshments available to runners after the event.”

Organisers have asked to not bring dogs to the race.
