This morning 6 goodgymers met at Woking Park to volunteer for another weekend at Jr Parkrun.

Contrary to the clocks going an hour forward to British Summer Time, the weather was dreary, but that didn't stop us and the other 20 volunteers that showed up!

Adam volunteered to do the first timer briefing as we had a few new faces. Alongside being the run director, James handed out milestone wrist bands to two children, who, at 6, have more running experience than me..

Myself, Anne and Rich marshaled around the park, cheering the children to the finish line where Victoria handed out the finish tokens.

Despite the weather, we had 7 children accomplish personal bests with the fastest boy finishing in 7.44 and the fastest girl at 8.58!

Participating in this task always puts a smile on my face as the genuine enthusiasm from the children at 9 am on a Sunday morning reminds me why we do what we do!

Don't forget there is no junior parkrun next week as there is another event in the park, but we will be back the week after!
