Our yearly task, helping the Christmas for CAMHS charity with their paper chain project.

We met as usual at the Glassworks, then headed out for our run. Tonight, different to usual, we were doing the task at the Glassworks where we had a table booked.

Michael had started the cutting process earlier in the day, cutting 20cm strips of wrapping paper. The team were given the page of jokes and the bag of pens, whilst Michael started to cut the smaller strips.

And the work started, who could complete the most?

It was a crazy time of writing as onlookers started to ask what we were doing. And in hardly any time our task came to an end.

Everyone stayed to take part in the Christmas Charity quiz, raising money for Macmillan cancer support.

A great night, and we will return to usual next week as we run to Samye.

Well done to Flo for completing 33 on her own.

Smashed It

Without the help of Michael, Fiona and Flo, Cardiff junior parkrun would have been in dire straits on Sunday.

It was all thanks to the wonderful volunteers who came forward to help out at Cardiff junior parkrun event # 462 on Sunday. ❤️🦺🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦺❤️

There was one junior earning their Ultra/50 wristband, and two juniors earning their half marathon wristbands. Well done all! 👏🏼💪🏻👏🏼💪🏻👏🏼💪🏻

Here are some more numbers from the day. Two of the run directors got some pretty impressive volunteer stats, 250 volunteer credit and 200 volunteer credits. Finally, one of the regular volunteers achieved her 150th volunteer credit. 😮🏅😮🏆😮🏅😮

There were 138 juniors taking part, 26 of those were first timers, and 32 achieved a new PB time. Awesome! ⏱️🆕️⏱️🆕️⏱️
