We had lots of fun this morning at Eastney junior parkrun, helping out during their 11th Birthday Event. To celebrate, we brought out the neon colours and our best rave moves. Aida was loving the chaos of the warm-up!

Well, this morning's parkrun wasn't quite as smooth as normal (police negotiating with a gentleman who may have partaken in too much breakfast wine), but that didn't stop the kids at Eastney juniors having a great time! We supported 40 kids to run, walk, skip and dance 2km. Great effort!

(PS: Completely forgot to take a group photo this morning, please enjoy this one of our butts taken by the event photographer, Lukasz.)

We certainly enjoyed the best part of the day at Eastney juniors this morning - the rain stayed away until all the little munchkins had finished their runs.

Aoife kept an eye on the whole course whilst she tail-walked with Aida, whilst Judy, Sam and Katie helped keep runners on course at some of the marshal spots. Dave showed his time-keeping expertise, whilst I did what I do best - making lots of noise as the Run Director. Always one for modesty, I even gave myself a shout-out for my 250th parkrun volunteer this morning.

Go GoodGym!!

Four Goodgymers and two mini Goodgymers sleighed into junior parkrun, marshaling the turnaround, run route and magic roundabout. Spirits were high, cones were jingle-belled, and cheers snowballed. Junior runners dashed through tinsel turns, spreading goodwill, mince-pie motivation and a holly-jolly helping of festive cheer, all wrapped up nicely today.

Run Director, Funnel Manager and Tail Walker. Supported by mini-GGers Alice and Aida, we had a lovely time supporting 58 junior parkrunners this morning. Alice's K-Pop Demon Hunters warm-up was particularly joyful!

Most of our photo credits go to parkrun mega-volunteer Katherine :-)

The runners were very enthusiastic and full of energy!

I cheered them off at gate 1 and Aoife scanned their barcodes at the finish.
