As Adam arrived at Woking junior parkrun I could already see everything was well organised and setup. Add I get closer the the bandstand, I could see Karen and Olalekan already there, with their highvis's on. James soon arrived armed with some coffees, which I was very thankful for.

It wasn't long before I registered and was given a different marshall position at finish funnel, ensuring adults wouldn't block up the funnel holding things up by going through the finish funnel.

The briefing started where run director Richard, gave the introductions for Woking Junior Parkrun number 350.

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 me, all focused and I'm guessing looking for a quick time. Then the other runners came by a bit more gently and with big smiles on their faces.

And it turned out an incredible a total of 251 children finished and the first finisher to complete the run, in a fantastic time of 7:20
Well done to the GoodGymers that helped it with another smooth Junior Parkrun 😁.

The turnout at Woking Junior Parkrun was astounding as per usual!! Wayne, Mel, Ola and Luan were the GoodGym marshals for the morning.

Writing the report I tried to get the stats for the event but, today everyone was pretty chilled at the end so there was no prize giving as there have been other times.

The kids are so cool at Junior Parkrun and a couple of them high fived me as they ran past, OMG they are cute! Usually I personally try to be as encouraging as possible and cheer them on as they pass…

They all did so well to run their 2k around the park!

Awesome :-)

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! 🐤 🐰 🐥 🌈 🦋 🥚

The Phoenix Cultural Centre is an amazing venue! I myself have attended a community music and food/drink festival there outside with a friend; it was my first time inside the building. We found out the huge site used to be the headquarters for KFC but now a community centre new to GoodGym we helped to decorate and transform some of the areas into brighter creative settings. There was a large table to move that Ola, Julie, Stephanie and myself moved together from one part of the building to the other. The rest was mostly decorating with posters and our own creative input. Elaine who met us there was lovely, she made us so welcome! Was happy for us to help her... Looking forward to helping out more at the centre! What a great project for Woking!
