After a couple of weeks of lower numbers over the Easter holidays, we were delighted to see so many juniors back out and at it this morning ๐ And in the sunshine too! Well done to everyone who joined us this morning, and a huge thank you to all of the wonderful volunteers who make these events happen every week ๐ซถ Here are our highlights from the event... ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 94 juniors walked and ran two laps of Florence Park to complete their Sunday morning 2km. Add all those laps together, string them together in a long line, and that line will take you from Florence Park all the way north to Rosehill Victoria junior parkrun, where there were 25 finishers at their 101st event this morning ๐บ๏ธ Great job everyone! ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 9 juniors joined us at Florence Park juniors for the first time and for all of these juniors this marked the start of their parkrun journey โ their first ever junior parkrun ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ณ Welcome to the parkrun family! ๐ฃ๐๐: 15 juniors achieved new personal best times ๐ Great walking and running juniors! ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐: Five! Congratulations to... ๐ Half marathon โ Evelyn, Phoebe, Theodora ๐ Marathon โ Mathilda ๐ค 100 โ Ronan Don't forget to drop us an email at florencepark-juniors@parkrun.com if your junior is due to receive a milestone wristband - we'll add them to our list to present when you next pay us a visit! ๐ฉ๐ผ๐น๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 24 wonderful volunteers made event 163 happen ๐ฆบ Thanks to each and every one of you for your support. โฑ๏ธ Austin made his debut in the role of Timekeeper, using the parkrun Virtual Volunteer app to clock juniors in across a busy finish line. Well done Austin - you did a brilliant job! ๐ฑ Phoebe joined us for the very first time at Florence Park juniors, where she's signed up to volunteer as part of her Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. Phoebe quickly got to grips with the parkrun Virtual Volunteer app too, which she used to scan barcodes at the finish area. Welcome Phoebe โ we hope you enjoyed your first time volunteering! โญ Top Team award goes to our four Tail Walkers, Billy, Leila, Eike, and Artus, who got split up on the first lap when a junior fell over and needed some first aid. Eike and Artus kept an eye on the back of the pack until Billy and Leila caught them back up on lap two. Artus and Billy earned themselves both a volunteer credit and a junior parkrun towards their next wristband! Thank you all so much for your support.

A quartet of Goodgymers took in various roles at Florence Park Juniors this morning.
It was a little drizzly but the kids were in good spirits, especially after a warm up session of the Hokey Cokey led by Trev.
We then set off for a 10k trot around Oxford. An excellent way to start a Sunday!

Take a look below, starting with a lovely sunny photo album from Alex: ๐ธ https://photos.app.goo.gl/LvJRWSYLR2AyqpG26 ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 64 juniors made the most of another beautifully sunny Sunday morning and made it round their two laps of Florence Park under their own steam, some with friends and family in tow, and others with adults waiting to cheer them in at the finish line ๐ We counted at least 14 sets of siblings amongst the finishers - we love seeing the whole family get involved ๐ Well done everyone! ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: 3 juniors joined us at Florence Park for their first ever junior parkrun on Sunday ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ณ Welcome to the parkrun family! ๐ฃ๐๐: 12 juniors achieved new personal best times ๐ Great walking and running juniors! ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐: One!

Thanks to each and every one of you for your support... ๐ Gill and Richard were visiting Oxford from their home of Newark and, not wanting to miss out on their junior parkrun fix (Dukeries juniors is their local event), joined us at Florence Park for what in the trade is called parkrun 'voluntourism' ๐ Richard acted as our Tail Walker whilst Gill cheered juniors round the course as a marshal. Thank you so much both - it was lovely to meet you! ๐ถ It's not often we have enough volunteers to have a parkwalker. However, this week we were lucky enough to have a great turnout in hi-vis, so Lam donned the blue parkwalker bib to accompany those walking and make sure everyone feels included, however they choose to complete the course โ๏ธ Juniors can volunteer as parkwalkers with their adults too - it's a great role for juniors who would prefer not to run and want to give their 2k a different focus ๐ Drop us an email if you and your junior(s) would like to give parkwalking a go! ๐ Daisy made her parkrun volunteer debut with us on Sunday! We hope you enjoyed your morning Daisy โบ๏ธ Thank you so much for your support. If you'd like to give volunteering a try, just drop us an email at florenceparkjuniors@parkrun.com with your parkrun barcode number ๐๏ธ Thank you for your support! How are we warming up next week?
