It was a wet start to the day at Lesnes Abbey Woods junior parkrun, but the morning rain couldn't dampen the incredible spirit of our young runners! As your warm-up manager, I was thrilled to see so many smiling faces jumping and stretching, ready to take on the challenge, regardless of the drizzle. This dedication and enthusiasm always makes Sunday mornings special, proving that a little bit of rain just makes the achievements all the more impressive. The perseverance of all the little runners paid off spectacularly! Midway through the event, the clouds parted just enough to treat everyone to the stunning, scenic beauty of the park, complete with a brilliant rainbow arching over the course—a true cherry on top for everyone who braved the weather. Thank you, as always, to the brilliant hi-viz heroes who marshaled in the damp conditions, ensuring a safe and successful event for all our fabulous juniors.
