Emily and Gosia volunteered at Latchmere Rec Junior Parkrun today. The weather was gorgeous which attracted to the park quite an impressive crowd of juniors and their parents ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง .

We were welcomed by Sue, who was today's run director ๐ŸŽฌ. She assigned us with a marshal spot, gave a briefing on the route and also instructed what should be done in case of any accident ๐Ÿšจ.

Gosia was on a spot two, close to the start line. She brought a bubble ๐Ÿซง machine with her that brought some additional excitement to the race and was a "special" point of interest at each of the three laps.

Emily was assigned a spot closer to the finish line and was bravely handing out the high fives ๐Ÿ™Œ to the runners as they passed through her spot.

Our last participant passed the finish line around 9:30 and around ten minutes after we left the park and headed to the Kingston centre for our next mission.
