Sunday 9th November
Report written by Sooz
… and the sky is blue!
Hardly a grey cloud in sight at this morning’s London Fields junior parkrun.
Sooz, Rue and Sarah took to their regular posts supporting Jonny as today’s Run Director.
London Fields in its autumn glory provided the beautiful red and orange backdrop for a sunny November Sunday.
Jonny set up the event, briefed the runners and got them raring to go with a strong warm up.
Sooz then started the timing and they were off! Rue on turning point position meant plenty of encouragement as the kids steamed up the first 100m, and hurtled round the first corner; and then again as they came flying down the home straight.
Sarah on her favourite tree got the runners through the hardest part of the course, and before long everyone was gunning back towards Sooz at the finish.
With a broad team of volunteers, they helped 60 youngsters to achieve their Sunday Runday goals, and an incredible 14 personal best times!
Impressive stuff for a leafy day underfoot.
