Every Sunday at 9:30am, the Lakeland Forum on the Broadmeadow in Enniskillen hosts a free, timed 2km run built for children aged 4 to 14. Broadmeadow junior parkrun uses the same site as Saturday’s adult Enniskillen parkrun but runs its own shorter course and its own weekly event, aimed at introducing young runners and walkers to the format in a relaxed, encouraging setting rather than a competitive one. The next run is Sunday, 9 August 2026.
The 2km course covers flat, largely off-road ground around the Broadmeadow, short enough for younger children while still giving older juniors room to push on if they want to. As with every parkrun event, it is entirely free and run by volunteers, many of them parents of regular participants, and every finisher is scanned with their own personal barcode so they get an official result and can track their progress from week to week. The atmosphere is deliberately low-pressure, walking is treated as equal to running, and parents and carers are welcome to walk or jog alongside younger children rather than watch from the side. New families are encouraged to arrive shortly before the 9:30am start for a First Timers’ introduction to how the barcode and token system works, since it is the same system used across every parkrun event worldwide.
The Lakeland Forum sits on the Broadmeadow beside Lough Erne, within easy walking distance of Enniskillen town centre, with car parking available on site. Translink buses connect Enniskillen with the wider region for anyone travelling without a car.
A Sunday morning at the Broadmeadow pairs well with a family day out around the county town’s lakeshore and castle grounds afterwards. There is more to see in Enniskillen and across Co. Fermanagh.
