A nine-year-old girl from Harrow has completed a five-kilometre parkrun in under twenty minutes, setting a potential new British record for her age group. Lily Janmohamed finished the Battersea parkrun in nineteen minutes and forty-five seconds. She hopes the impressive time will help her qualify to represent Barnet in the upcoming London Mini Marathon. Although Guinness World Records does not track this specific category, her family believes the achievement is also a world record for a road run.
