With spring in the air and blossoms appearing on the trees, there was a wonderful atmosphere at today’s junior parkrun at Lesnes Abbey Woods.

The children's enthusiasm was equally high, resulting in the highest turnout in recent times with 47 finishers.

Manish was one of the marshals, cheering everyone round the course.

Fresh air, high fives and good vibes - not a bad way to start your Sunday morning.

Why not come and join us?

Despite the rain at today's junior parkrun, the volunteering team stayed positive as the young runners took on the three-lap course with incredible determination.

Four of us helping at Lesnes Abbey Wood junior parkrun this morning.

Kam and Johnny were high-fiving runners, I gave out finishing tokens and Manish helped with breakdown after running with his son.

Kam headed home, while the three of us hooked up with the Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods for their monthly conservation session 🌳🌳🌳.

A great opportunity to encourage children to stay active and embrace healthy habits, with plenty of high-fives handed out along the way.

Took on the role of a marshal, encouraging the kids as they went around the course. Very good turn out today!

Very chilly morning haha! Good attendance from the junior runners despite this.
