Three GoodGymers headed down to their familiar friend Cardiff junior parkrun on a sunny Sunday morning to help out.

Michael was barcode scanning, Fiona was marshalling at playground, and Flo was run director.

Well done to the 179 finishers who took part in parkrun!

Here are some fun numbers for you.

Yesterday was Cardiff junior parkrun's 444th event.

Out of those 179 parkrunners, 31 had visited for the first time, and 46 parkrunners got a new personal best time.

Cardiff junior parkrun also gave out 5 milestone wristbands:

1 x Half Marathon Wristband - 11 junior parkruns, 3 x Marathon Wristbands - 21 junior parkruns, and 1 x 100 wristband for the same amount of parkruns.

All of this was made possible by the 31 volunteers. Nearly 10% of that was just GoodGym members. 👏👏👏

A shout out to all that came today, they were in dire need of volunteers this week. Michael spotted this early and gave a shout out on the WhatsApp group, and then again on a night out at the Musical Rave.

Our 6 volunteers helped to get to the number allowing the event to go ahead.

A great turn out for the event with a whopping 169 runners on the course. 23 first timers and 41 new PBs.

A coffee and a chat afterwards before heading away for another week.

Another Sunday with the Parkrun juniors, only this week in the Sunshine ☀️

Flo was on scanning, eager to get those times recorded. Michael, was learning new things with their first time on set up and take down.

Today was 147 runners, 18 first timers and 30 new PBs.

Join us next week, it's a great way to start your Sunday. Plus we go for a coffee and a chat afterwards.

Today saw 7 goodgymers get up early and head to encourage the next runners at junior parkrun.

We saw a great 152 out today, as we cheered, high fived, handed out finish tokens and scanned those barcodes.

A total of 25 new PBs, and a great 16 first timers.

Now to warm up with a coffee...

Michael and Flo were back at Cardiff Junior parkrun today. Flo was the Run Director, and Michael had been assigned the role of time keeper. After the parkrun, Flo and Michael helped sort the tokens back into order, over a cup of tea (for Flo).

A copy of the run report is below:

We were very lucky with the weather today. It only began raining as I was walking to my friend's house (all 50 minutes of the journey). 🌧☂️

Congratulations to Pippa and Sally on their half marathon wristbands, to Darcey and Emrys on their marathon wristbands, and Osian on their ultra marathon wristband. 🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏

A quick fact sheet on the wristbands. A junior is eligible to collect their half marathon wristband after 11 runs, their marathon after 21, and their ultra after 50. Then the next milestones are 100 runs and 250 runs.😮For each one, the junior will collect the wristband on the run after (so 12th junior parkrun for half marathon wristband, 22nd junior parkrun for marathon etc).

Congratulations also to the 20 juniors who got a new PB (personal best) time today, and to the 7 juniors who visited for the first time. 🤩🤩🤩

Cardiff junior parkrun event #413 was made possible today by the 30 volunteers. Thank you all so much. 👍❤️👍❤️

Ian is the run director next week, please let him know if you can volunteer during the week.

On a crisp Sunday monring, goodgymers got together for another Junior Parkrun - a wonderful brisk task.

We cheered and clapped, encouragement at every 100m, a brilliant way to start the day and end the weekend.

Today we saw 194 young participants and there were 36 volunteers.
