Peter, Johnny and Sarah were back at Eltham junior parkrun this morning.

Peter was in his usual role as timekeeper, while Johnny and Sarah cheered and offered hi-fives to the 157 children and parents in each of the two laps.

Hands up if you'd like to join us next time! We'd love to see you there.

It was a hi-viz start to the day for four of us at Eltham junior parkrun.

Taking up marshalling and time-keeping roles we saw a whopping 165 children safely around the two-lap 2k course.

There were fast runners, slow runners, walkers and even a child running backwards for the second lap!

If you can spare an hour of your Sunday morning, why not give it a go? You'll be rewarded with smiles and a happy buzz. And if you need an extra reason, there's a great coffee shop nearby for a post task treat!

Peter was once again repping GoodGym Bexley at Avery Hill parkrun, first holding a 'Quiet Please' paddle aloft during the run briefing, then holding the stopwatch as timekeeper, recording those all-important minutes and seconds as everyone crossed the line.

If you fancy giving it a go, our two local parkruns always welcome new volunteers. No experience required, and a guaranteed feel-good factor after having been involved in a wonderful community event.
