*Woking Junior Park Run *

On this sunny ☀️ morning Wayne, Adam, Alys and Karen met at Woking park to carry out various roles at the junior park run 😀 Wayne, Adam and Karen were out on the course cheering and supporting the runners around the 2k course, while Alys wearing her flashy Goodgym cap was at the funnel making sure the runners came through.

In total there were an impressive 200 runners who took part, the fastest time being an impressive 07:34 with 64 PB's fantastic running by everyone 🏃‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽

Junior Park Run 🏃‍♂️

Woking Junior Park run was back this morning after a few weeks off. The park did have a few obstacles at the start but the runners navigated around them 😊.

Wayne, Karen, & Adam got to the park early to have a catch up. It was great hearing about Karen recent trip to Michu Picuhu sounded like a great trip. It was also good to catch up with Adam but not so good to hear about Adam injury which he picked up at the Richmond 1/2, and is now slowly changing his exercise routine to get himself back to his peak (Speedy Recovery Adam)

There was a great turn out this morning with 144 Runners taking part. The quickest time was an amazing 07:36 and there were also a fantastic 105 PB's Great running by everyone 🏃‍♂️.

Tonight we were back at Woking food bank at The Lighthouse, giving it a good old spring clean.

Anne, Karen & Laura ran from the Leisure Centre, whilst Katie, Phil, Julie and Alys made their own way to the task.

In less than half an hour, we had the place hoovered, mopped and organised! Many hands make light work as they say…

If you couldn’t join us today, there are two tasks available this Sunday - one indoors helping build a train set for All Aboard’s sessions for autistic, ADHD and SEN children, and another outdoor sowing wildflowers on Millmoor Common.

James, Karen and Becky took a short pause from eating chocolate eggs to volunteer at Junior parkrun on a crisp easter morning.

With well over 100 juniors it was a busy parkrun. Must be the parents getting the kids out to burn some energy before a day of feasting on sugary treats.

James did a superb job as Run Director and did GoodGym proud, knowing most kids by first name, including lots of kids in the warm up crew and learning from the kids how to use the loud speaker.

Becky accurately did her job as time keeper, maybe for the first time ever, while Karen was a marshal on the course encouraging the kids and keeping them safe.

Certainly an eggcellent time had by all.
