Another glorious Sunday morning and another fab day for junior parkrun — this time with sunshine turned all the way up and smiles to match.

Despite a late sign-up, one determined GoodGymer made it in time to pull on the hi-vis and join the volunteer crew as one of this morning’s marshals. Proof that sometimes all you need is a bit of urgency and a sunny start.

As today’s Race Director Sheralee reminded us, junior parkrun only works because of volunteers — and the best part? No experience required. Just a willingness to cheer, clap, high five and help make Sunday mornings happen. Everyone is welcome.

Today was another reminder that junior parkrun is more than just a run. It’s family time, community time, sunshine time… and definitely high-five time.

From first-timers to regulars, all 29 finishers earned those cheers around the course and crossed the finish line with extra sunshine-powered energy. A special welcome to the 3 first timer junior parkrunners, and huge congratulations to the 8 runners who achieved new PBs.

Another family day called junior parkrun day. Today… in the sun.
