On a beautiful spring morning, we saw the biggest turnout of children yet, made even more special with a number of children joining for the first time.

Olalekan, Adam and Karen were there from GoodGym, with Karen also bringing her friend Steve, who was visiting from Shropshire.

Another fantastic volunteering session—and a perfect way for children, parents and volunteers alike to start their Sunday.

As Adam arrived at Woking junior parkrun he could already see everything was well organised and setup. As Adam got closer to the bandstand, he could see Olalekan already there, already with his highvis on.

It wasn't long before Adam was registered and was given the marshal position at point 3 next to the tennis courts.

Olalekan was keen to do the scanning of all the excited youngsters having successfully completed Sunday mornings JPR 😃

The briefing started where run director Luke, gave the introductions for Woking Junior Parkrun number 346.

There where many children lined up for the start and when the whistle sounded, you could feel the ground shake as they stormed off the line. A good start was made as they all joined the path quickly.

The first runners passed Adam, all focused and clearly looking for a quick time. Then the other runners came by a bit more gently and with big smiles on their faces.

It wasn't long before the leaders came flying past again, seeing how much grit they had to finish off the last third of the course.

When the tail walker past Adam, he headed back to the bandstand. Once he got there, he saw Olalekan and the other volunteers being over crowded by park runners looking to get their time scanned.
Adam quickly jumped in and helped out before the crowd eased and we could start sorting the tokens.

And it turned out an incredible a total of 217 children finished and the first finisher to complete the run, in a fantastic time of 7:15.
Well done to the GoodGymers that helped it with another smooth Junior Parkrun 😁.

Alys, Olalekan and Anne met at the band stand to volunteer at the Woking junior parkrun.

It was rather cold and windy, but this did not deter the 110 children, some wearing 🐰 ears, who were ready to hop along the eggs-tra special 2 kms route! There were 37 un-bunny-liebable PBs! All children were egg-ceptional today and were delighted to eggs-ercise as there was a special reward when they crossed the finish line: some Easter eggs.

All in all, it was a cracking junior parkrun! 🐤 🐰 🐥 🌈 🦋 🥚

An early start on a cold morning, with the clocks having just gone forward for spring. Despite that, the children arrived full of enthusiasm, and it was lovely to see such a strong turnout—especially as it was also the start of the Easter holidays.

Wayne and Karen were both volunteering, positioned at opposite ends of the course. Karen took on the start, allowing her to leave promptly afterwards to help with the Horsell Bowls annual spring clean—no doubt involving plenty of back-breaking weeding!

All the children were cheered on enthusiastically around the course, creating a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish.

Another great session at the GoodGym

*Junior Park Run *

Another damp and dreary morning couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the runners, with around 12 children taking part in their very first Junior Parkrun!

Karen and Olalekan enjoyed an early catch-up before heading off to their respective roles, helping the children safely around the course and making sure everyone got their finish times.

It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces despite the weather – another brilliant GoodGym session!

*Junior Park Run *

Another Sunday morning and another grey and drizzly start to the junior park run 🏃‍♂️

Wayne and Olalekan met at the bandstand and had a little catch up as they had not seen each other for a while 💬

There was a good number of young runners this morning despite the grey and wet morning.

In total there were 156 runners who took part in the 2k run around the park 😀

Wayne was out on the course as a marshal cheering and supporting the runners around.

Olalekan was at the finish line scanning the bar code as the runners finished

The fastest time was an impressive 07:24 with 42 PB's

fantastic running by everyone 👏🏽
