As Adam arrived at Woking junior parkrun I could already see everything was well organised and setup. Add I get closer the the bandstand, I could see Karen and Olalekan already there, with their highvis's on. James soon arrived armed with some coffees, which I was very thankful for.

It wasn't long before I registered and was given a different marshall position at finish funnel, ensuring adults wouldn't block up the funnel holding things up by going through the finish funnel.

The briefing started where run director Richard, gave the introductions for Woking Junior Parkrun number 350.

There where many children lined up for the start and when the whistle sounded, you could feel the ground shake as they stormed off the line. A good start was made as they all joined the path quickly.

The first runners passed me, all focused and I'm guessing looking for a quick time. Then the other runners came by a bit more gently and with big smiles on their faces.

And it turned out an incredible a total of 251 children finished and the first finisher to complete the run, in a fantastic time of 7:20
Well done to the GoodGymers that helped it with another smooth Junior Parkrun 😁.

On a beautiful spring morning, we saw the biggest turnout of children yet, made even more special with a number of children joining for the first time.

Olalekan, Adam and Karen were there from GoodGym, with Karen also bringing her friend Steve, who was visiting from Shropshire.

Another fantastic volunteering session—and a perfect way for children, parents and volunteers alike to start their Sunday.

As Adam arrived at Woking junior parkrun he could already see everything was well organised and setup. As Adam got closer to the bandstand, he could see Olalekan already there, already with his highvis on.

It wasn't long before Adam was registered and was given the marshal position at point 3 next to the tennis courts.

Olalekan was keen to do the scanning of all the excited youngsters having successfully completed Sunday mornings JPR 😃

The briefing started where run director Luke, gave the introductions for Woking Junior Parkrun number 346.

There where many children lined up for the start and when the whistle sounded, you could feel the ground shake as they stormed off the line. A good start was made as they all joined the path quickly.

The first runners passed Adam, all focused and clearly looking for a quick time. Then the other runners came by a bit more gently and with big smiles on their faces.

It wasn't long before the leaders came flying past again, seeing how much grit they had to finish off the last third of the course.

When the tail walker past Adam, he headed back to the bandstand. Once he got there, he saw Olalekan and the other volunteers being over crowded by park runners looking to get their time scanned.
Adam quickly jumped in and helped out before the crowd eased and we could start sorting the tokens.

And it turned out an incredible a total of 217 children finished and the first finisher to complete the run, in a fantastic time of 7:15.
Well done to the GoodGymers that helped it with another smooth Junior Parkrun 😁.

What a spectacular event which brings the running community of Surrey together each year with an opportunity to run a half marathon, 5k or vounteer, including a kids race.

The morning started rather fresh but the sun burst through the clouds to brighten up the day for the runners and the many supporters along the route.

Woking GoodGym were out in force with Anne deserving a gold medal for all the medals she handed out to the finishers. It is always a joy to see Anne as you cross the finish line. James ran with Woking AC and smashed a finishing time of 1:36:51.

Adam managed to crack the sub 2hrs that many runners aspire to with a finish time of 1:57:22.

Melanie did a great job cheering all the way around and finishing in 2:09:25 closely followed by

Rebecca at 2:11:10. A big thank you to Maya for cheering us along for the final push with 1.5k to go. Another thank you to the spectators, especially all the funny signs, the scouts for operating the water/fuel stations and the Woking litter picking warriors who make the most of the closed road event to help clean up the community.

A wonderful day all round. Same again next year?!
