Mothers Days Park Run 💐

This morning 5 GG Members carried out various volunteering Roles at junior park run. 🏃🏼‍♂️

Firstly a big congratulations to James & Rebecca who both completed the Battersea Half Marathon yesterday. Both of them completed the course in fantastic times 👏🏻

So this morning James was run director. He had assigned Wayne, Katie & Abi as marshalls around the course to cheers & support the runners around the 2k course. Anne was in charge of the funnel making sure the runners ended up going through the finishing line to get their barcodes scanned.

Abi was down for the weekend from Uni to see her mum, it was great catching up with Abi who is currently recovering from a hip injury 😤 hope you get better soon.

In total this morning we had 85 runners. The fastest time was an incredible 06:25 which i believe was a course record. In total there were also 27 PB's amazing achievement by everyone. 👏🏻

In total this morning Wayne cycled 22k while Katie & Anne ran 17k between them. 😄

This coming Wednesday James will be leading running intervals at the park, we will then head over to the Pub to have some food.

Hope to see you all there, Happy Mothers Day Everyone 💐

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.

In the meantime, happy running to you all.
