The Conkers Parkrun in Moira is set to return on June 5 - along with all others across the country.

Organisers announced the resumption of the popular 5km races in a blog post on their website.

Junior parkrun events - run over a 2km course - are due to return even sooner, on April 11.

The Conkers Parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9am at Conkers Park in the National Forest, starting and finishing between the Conkers Waterside and Discovery Centre on a mixture of gravel, tarmac and trails.

Organised outdoor sports is allowed from March 29 under Government guidance unveiled in roadmap earlier this week.

Parkrun says it is returning when all UK events are able to, to avoid "parkrun tourism" which could see certain events overwhelmed with runners if only a few parkruns resumed at first.

Delaying the return until the summer also allows the infection rate to drop even further and will boost the chances of holding parkrun's largest events, which attract more than 1,000 people weekly.

Parkrun has become a global phenomenon since it was founded by Paul Sinton-Hewitt at Bushy in October 2004 and now attracts more than 200,000 regular participants around the world.
