Four-year-old Alanah joins the Melton ParkRun community
Alanah Drage became Melton ParkRun's youngest runner when she completed her first circuit of the country park on her fourth birthday.
Dad Ian used to push Alanah around the course in a buggy each week, but had to wait patiently for her birthday before she could register to run for herself.
Her seven-year-old brother Jenson has already completed the course 74 times, while mum Nicola and Gran Val are also regulars.
