Sunday 30th March

On a beautiful Sunday morning, waking a bit more tired then normal having lost an hour sleep, Junior Parkrun was ready to start. On heading to Woking park, lots of children were quickly heading to the park excited to be there for their Sunday morning exercise through the park.

I arrived and Goodgymers Wayne and Anne were there already and waiting. Wayne was taking the role of marshal by the park entrance and Anne was in charge of handing the tokens to the children as they passed the finish line.

As Rich, the run director was announcing the accolades accomplished by some of the runners, one stood out for this event. Ethan, a regular runner and someone that volunteers often had reached an amazing milestone in junior parkrun history, not only had he volunteered for parkrun a great number of times; this event was his 250 junior parkrun having started from the first junior parkrun in 2017. What an amazing achievement.

After we all applauded that great achievement, wishing all the mothers a happy mother's day. And once the warm up was finished and everyone headed to the start line. James quickly made his way there as his role was time keeper. The run started and everyone made it safely too the first marshal before circling around the cricket pitch. The sun was shining brightly by this point and the wind eased off, although still a bit chilly!

It wasn't long before the first lap was completed and the children running were fully spread around the course. My role was to ensure only children went through the finish line!

The first child crossed the line in under 8 minutes, a really impressive time. There was a little gap before more children came streaming through the finish line. In total 96 children completed the 2 lap course and so the cleanup started. And well done to Wayne and Anne as they headed to their next task. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

Sunday 9th March

Written by Woking runner

Adam, Alys, James, Katie, Wayne and Anne met in Woking Park on this warm Sunday morning.

It felt as if spring has definitively arrived. Even the 170 young runners had spring in their steps. The tail walker approached the finish line within 23 minutes! This was great for the GG members who were going straight after marshalling to another community mission to plant trees. (See Wayneโ€™s report).

22 children ran in Woking for the first time, I am sure they will be back and, there were 48 PBs. It was great to see so many smiles and enthusiasm.

This week, you might want to join us for a training session on Wednesday or help cleaning the foodbank at the Light House or even do some gardening in West Byfleet on Saturday. All the information is on our website.

Happy running in the (nearly) spring!

Another Sunday morning, another junior parkrun!

Despite it being -1 outside, 126 children and their adults turned out to Woking park for their weekly run & walk.

The sun was shining though - bringing smiles to faces and making it feel like Spring is finally on its way!

Alys, Wayne, James & Adam all took on marshalling roles today. We loved cheering on all the children as they made their way around the park.

A massive congratulations to fellow volunteer Vicky for an incredible 500 volunteering stints at parkrun which she achieved this weekend! She got a big round of applause from the crowd, and a bunch of flowers from the director team.

We'll be there again next Sunday, why not sign up? Junior parkrun is cancelled at Woking on 16th March due to the Surrey Half taking place.
