It was the 336th Woking junior parkrun, the route was not too muddy and despite the recent rainfalls, there were not too many puddles either.

James was the run director this morning and welcomed, as well as the regular runners, some of the children from Sythwood Primary School. The school is now a “parkrun primary”. (You may wish to read more about this new scheme: https://blog.parkrun.com/uk/2025/09/12/parkrun-primary-initiative/)

James explained to 185 children and their parents about Woking Junior parkrun. Some of the children helped by reminding the crowd about the different rules and a little group of them took charge of the warming up session with a real enthusiasm.

Adam, Liam and Anne were given different roles to encourage the runners around the 2 kms route.

The atmosphere was great, the children enjoyed themselves which made their parents happy! It was a great way to start the day!
