Woking Junior Park Run Despite the summer holidays there were several new participants this morning joining a great turn out from regular runners, parents, families, and friends. For the first time in what feels like months there was an overcast sky and even a few drops of rain but not enough to discourage some great individual performances. With Olalekan volunteering as barcode scanner and Karen and Steve-as marshals. Well done to everyone involved, a brilliant event, hope everyone has a great week and is ready again next Sunday morning.

This morning i Wayne headed off the Junior Park Run o carry out Marshaling duties. It was a beautiful morning with many people out and about ☀️.

I was at Marshal point 4 and had to be extra vigilante as there was a Wasp nest behind the trees and plants. Luckily the area was made safe with barriers and signs and was well away from the runners 🐝.

In total there were 175 runners with fasted time an impressive 07:07. There were also 55 PB's Great running by everyone 😊

Woking Junior Park Run

A fantastic morning at Woking Junior park run saw 126 junior participants take to the course, cheered on by their parents, families and friends and well wishers.

The weather was perfect, making for an enjoyable event for everyone.

Congratulations to all our juniors on another brilliant Sunday, we look forward to seeing everyone again next week . 😊

An excellent turnout of children and parents made for a fantastic start to Sunday morning. Although it was warm, the welcome cloud cover kept the conditions comfortable.

Karen and Wayne were on marshal duty, proudly wearing their GoodGym T-shirts, with invaluable help from Karen’s friend Steve, who was volunteering for the fourth time. We really must get him signed up to GoodGym!

It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning, with plenty of cheerful “Thank you, Marshal!” from grateful parents, and lots of smiles, waves and high-fives from the children. Seeing everyone having such a great time made the early start more than worthwhile.

Another successful event, and a lovely reminder of how a small amount of volunteering can make a big difference to the local community.

*Woking Junior Park Run Olympic Day *

This morning it was Olympic day at junior park run. And you can not have an Olympic day without an Olympian. This morning we we had Former 2012 British Fencing Olympian Corinna Lawrence 🤺

As well as Corinna we had out goodgym hero's Wayne, Anne, Adam, James, Melanie, and Olalekan.

With the Olympic theme 😄 Olympic coloured bands were handed out to the young runners who had reached their running milestones. It was great hearing from Corinna about her Olympic journey and how she got into fencing.

Wayne, Anne, and Melanie were marshals out on the 2k course cheering and encouraging the runners around. Olalekan had the important task of being the barcode scanner, while Adam and James were responsible for putting the equipment away at the end.

There was a great turn out this morning with 163 runners taking part with the fastest time being an impressive 07: 31. There were also 58 PB's fantastic running by everyone 😄
