Woking Report written by Woking runner
Adam, Eddie, Abi and I joined the 29 volunteers to help at the Woking junior parkrun.
As you all like numbers, here you are. 83 children took part in this 232nd junior parkrun. Among them 19 managed a PB. The first runner to cross the line did this in 7:11 while the last one recorded 29:00. This shows that parkrun caters for all abilities.
Please note there is no junior parkrun next Sunday 24th September due to another event in the park.
This coming Wednesday we will meet at the Knaphill Community Fridge to help with various gardening and maintenance tasks.
In the meantime, happy running to you all.

Junior Park 🏃🏾♂️
On this beautiful morning ☀️101 young runners laced up their trainers and headed to Woking Park to do the 2k course around the park.
Our very own James was run director today, with Kirsty out on the course as a Marshal encouraging the runners as they run past. Eddie was managing the funnel while Alys was park Walker.
Victoria took on the role of handing out the tokens at the end of the run.
Out of the 101 runners we had a first finishing time of 07:34 with 24 PB’s…
😃 Amazing running by everyone. Regards Wayne

Woking Report written by James McCloud
James, Adam and Lauren drove over to Dorking to help out with the event.
There was a 2k race for children, and 10k and 10 mile races for adults.
Lots of people were running with their dogs and there was a great atmosphere.
While it was still light, Lauren and James went off to buy bananas and sweets while Adam got involved in setting everything up.
James helped with registering the participants to their foot pods while Adam and Lauren went off to take position at their marshal spots.
Eddie travelled separately to get there and helped with final setup preparations and a challenging marshal spot where the runners would end up passing him twice along the route.
James was sent at the last minute to marshal spot 2, to guide the runners to go up the hill, and then followed the last runner collecting all the signs and reflective ribbons along the way.
After a few hours we all met back near the start to grab coffee and teas before heading back to the car where Lauren produced the chocolate cakes she had bought for the squad.
It's fair to say that supporting this event was difficult and challenging but we were equal to the task.
It was great to get back home and relax in a hot bath afterwards.
