Woking junior parkrun 183…. Hot, hot, hot!

Congratulations to the children who came this morning. There were a few “first timers” and a couple of “tourists” too. Three children received a wristband for achieving an ultra, a marathon and half marathon. Well done Teddy, Reuben and Quin.

Despite the heat, 61 children took part in the 2 kms course in Woking Park. Some ran, others jogged, walked and one even danced joyfully around the cones when reaching the finishing line.

The first runner, Katie, crossed the line in 7minutes 19 seconds soon followed by Thomas achieving 7minutes 41seconds.

Well done to all who took part under this heat… and lucky to those whose parents rewarded them with a visit to the ice cream van!

Thank you to the volunteers who cheered and encouraged the young runners.

Please get in touch if you and/or your child can volunteer, all of the roles are very easy, and we will talk you through any roles that you haven’t done before. Please email: wokingjuniors@parkrun.com and we will gladly add you to our roster.

As usual, Woking GoodGym were in force to help on this very hot Sunday morning when 61 children took part in the junior parkrun 183.

James was the Run Director guiding us towards different roles:

Adam welcomed the children who attended for the first time and was also a time keeper.

Katie, Kirsty, Lauren and Phil marshalled, enthusiastically encouraging the children.

Anne gave out the barcodes and sorted them with Georgina.

James ran 10 kms before setting up the course with Rich. Adam who completed the Kempton half marathon yesterday took a well earned rest from his morning run.

Katie and Phil ran 10 kms to the park and back home. Kirsty enrolled her partner to volunteer and her son to take part in the junior parkrun. Unfortunately, she hurt her knee last Wednesday so must take a break from running. Anne ran 2 kms most of it was risk assessing the course.

Thank you James for leading such a fantastic team! Are you joining us on Wednesday for group run to Brockhill care home in Knaphill? We will meet at WWF to run along the canal. In the meantime: Happy running!
