This weekend marked the 1st anniversary of the fantastic Hornfair Junior Parkrun, and five enthusiastic GoodGymers: Jenny, Khai, Julian, Marta and myself joined the celebrations by volunteering in a variety of roles. As always, it was a fun and rewarding morning supporting the local running community. To mark the special occasion, Race Director Sheralee proposed a unique twist: a fun run for adults around the same course usually reserved for the junior runners. What made it extra special? This time, the kids took over as marshals, cheering us on with boundless energy and encouragement. A delightful role reversal that brought plenty of smiles! We did good, had fun, and enjoyed the strong sense of camaraderie that defines this wonderful community event. And what’s a birthday celebration without a few treats? There were cakes, chocolates, and sweets galore—fuel for runners and volunteers alike, and a sweet way to top off the morning!

A big thank you to everyone at Hornfair Junior Parkrun for making it such a memorable morning. Happy 1st Anniversary, and here’s to many more!

Until next time! 👋🏼😃 - Cecilia 🍀
