This morning I arrived early to help with the setup of the junior park run and then as a marshall. It is always nice to see that they up their pace as they run past you, shows it is worthwhile voluteering at this event.

Emily and Gosia volunteered at Latchmere Rec Junior Parkrun today. The weather was gorgeous which attracted to the park quite an impressive crowd of juniors and their parents ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง .
We were welcomed by Sue, who was today's run director ๐ฌ. She assigned us with a marshal spot, gave a briefing on the route and also instructed what should be done in case of any accident ๐จ.
Gosia was on a spot two, close to the start line. She brought a bubble ๐ซง machine with her that brought some additional excitement to the race and was a "special" point of interest at each of the three laps.
Emily was assigned a spot closer to the finish line and was bravely handing out the high fives ๐ to the runners as they passed through her spot.
Our last participant passed the finish line around 9:30 and around ten minutes after we left the park and headed to the Kingston centre for our next mission.
