Anna and Sam met up on a beautiful but chilly Sunday morning to help the Junior parkrun team in Peckham Rye. They marshalled and help with Finish Tokens respectively.

We thought we would get a course record for time, but like last week, Archie was just shy of a couple of seconds to break his 6 minutes and 42 seconds.

However, we rushed to 100 kids quite quickly that we started thinking we would beat the 126 kids in attendance record. Slowly, but surely we hit and exceeded it by 6. We ended up with 132 kids finishing! Well done to everyone and to do it on the 21st (marathon milestone) parkrun is amazing!
