On a drizzly day, 8 goodgymers made their way to help the future generations of runners at junior Parkrun.

And this week our regular Flo was in fact Race Director.

Event number 377, 101 runners (it didn't seem like that many until scannign at the end) and a goos 28 volunteers.

Another wonderful Sunday in the park, even with some rain.

Another Sunday morning, and this means it's time for Juniour Parkrun.

Croeso

Welcome to our 'tourist' Harvey, good to have you at another community mission with Cardiff. Nic, lovely to see you with us again.

A nice 143 runners today, and the fastest 7m 51s.

Another lovely morning.

Four hearty goodgymers got together on a Sunday morning, it was a good varied selection of roles today from timekeeping, funnel management, cheering to tokens. A little chilly but worth it as those happy faces finished with some great effort.

A nice 135 little ones today completing the course. Plenty more this month so why not take a look at another Sunday if you can.....

Today at Cardiff Junior parkrun, Flo was there to assist with Time-Keeping. Flo is an upstanding citizen, and therefore the 21 personal best times were all achieved legitimately and not through any bribery (as if such a thing could occur!)

Also today, 3 juniors collected wristbands of achievement today (2 x half marathon and 1 x Ultra!) .6 juniors today were completely new to Cardiff Junior parkrun (with five of these being completely new to parkrun!) and there were 93 finishers in total. Well done all!

Today Flo was out and about at Cardiff Junior parkrun, a free weekly event on Sunday's for 4-14 year olds (and part of the wider parkrun family).

Wales, November rain and weather warnings can only mean one thing - there will be mud, mud, mud!

In fact, the mud was so much that the finishing funnel had to moved from it's usual position, slightly to the side, at a spot in the park which was less muddy. And there wasn't just mud to deal with, there was also huge, powerful winds, which threatened to take the whole funnel tape and poles away with it. This meant Flo later added 'human pole' to her responsibilities today, though it's unlikely to take off as a regular parkrun volunteer role.

This week, Cardiff Junior parkrun was having a takeover from another wonderful Cardiff-based running club, She Runs: Cardiff. Nearly all the volunteers today are a member of that running group, and the volunteer roster was very full and healthy-looking all week. Flo was marshalling in 'playground' with a veteran volunteer who literally wrote the manual on setting up the playground spot, and two She Runners.

It was a beautiful day, enjoyed by all.

There was a bumper amount of wristband milestones today, 6 juniors collected their half-marathon wristbands, 4 juniors collected their marathon wristbands, and one prolific junior collected their ultra wristband.
