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 😄
