Woking Junior Park Run

On this beautiful morning 3 woking GG volunteers Wayne, Kirsty, & Karen carried out marshal duties 🏃‍♀️.

It was great to see Karen without her boot on, and is slowly getting back to full mobility 😄.

It was great to catch up with Kirsty who is back out and running again and enjoying it 👏🏻.

This morning the sun was out and so were 139 young runners who ran the 2k course. The fastest time was an amazing 07:29 and there were also 34 PB's fantastic running by everyone 👏🏻

Next task on the 13th Aug is the the foodbank in town for a focused clean....🧹

Woking junior parkrun #315 – Sunday 3rd August 2025

What a glorious morning it was for Woking junior parkrun this Sunday! The sun was shining, the skies were clear, and the park was buzzing with energy and excitement as our young runners gathered for event number 315.

We had some fantastic performances on the course this week. Huge congratulations to Marilyn, our first female finisher, who crossed the line in an impressive 7:26, and to Oliver, the first male finisher, coming in close behind at 7:48. Brilliant running from both!

Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing volunteers – all 33 of them this week! A special shout-out goes to the fantastic team from GoodGym, who came out in force to support the event.

James and Melanie kept spirits high on the course as marshals

Adam was on barcode scanning duties with a smile

Katie and Phil took charge of timekeeping, making sure every finish time was recorded perfectly

A big thank you to all our volunteers – whether you're clapping, cheering, timing, scanning or tail walking, you make this event the highlight of the week for so many young runners.

See you next Sunday for more fun, fitness and community

Woking Wonders: Junior Parkrunners Dash into Sunday with Smiles and Speed!

Woking Wonders: Junior Parkrunners Dash into Sunday with Smiles and Speed!

This morning, Woking’s junior parkrun course was buzzing with energy as 175 enthusiastic young runners tackled the two-lap, 2km route with great spirit and determination. The first finisher zipped across the line with an impressive time of 7 minutes and 38 seconds, setting the pace for a brilliant event full of effort, fun, and community cheer.

Helping make the event a smooth success were four fantastic volunteers from Woking GoodGym: Karen, Kirsty, James, and Wayne, who took on the role of marshals with gusto, guiding runners around the course and cheering them on with trademark enthusiasm.

A big thank you to all the runners, families, and volunteers who made this morning’s run such a happy event. Whether it was their first time or their fiftieth, every step counted and every smile mattered.

Congratulations to Wayne for achieving his 250th good deed with Woking Goodgym!

See you next week for more junior parkrun magic!

A fractured foot? Tis but a scratch!

Sunday 20th July

Written by Alys Penfold (she/her)

Despite the threat of rain, 125 children (including 13 first timers) turned out for today's junior parkrun, with Karen, Laura & Alys making up three of the volunteer team. Karen has recently fractured her foot, but still turned out boot 'n' all!

Today's run director Jennifer managed to get the attention of everyone attending with the help of a megaphone, and some lucky junior parkrunners even got to use it whilst listing rules. A few wristbands were given out, and a special shout out to Rhiannon who has been attending Woking junior parkrun since 2017 running her last junior parkrun as she turns 15 next week!

Karen & Laura were out marshalling, whilst Alys handed out finish tokens. It's a task that's always made a bit trickier due to a few parents not listening to the rules about the finish funnel, so we had a couple of younger kids and a parent manage to slip through.

The rain timed itself perfectly with the start of the run, but it didn't stop 38 children getting a PB and volunteers managed to keep a smile on their faces thanks to umbrellas & rainjackets.

We volunteer at junior parkrun whenever it's on, so please do come and join us if you have a free hour on a Sunday morning.

On this sunny morning 4 Goodgymer's gave up their time to carry out various volunteering roles at the junior park run.

It was also Adam 400th good deed, what an amazing milestone achievement 🎉

It was great seeing Adam who has recently started running again after injury 😊

Sunny junior run-day…

Sunday 6th July

Written by Woking runner

As GoodGym Woking do most Sundays, Karen, James, Wayne and I (Anne) met at Woking Park to support junior parkrun.

There were 34 volunteers scattered along the 2 kms route doing various duties. Wayne and Anne were at the beginning of the course as they were going to St John’s Lye to help the biodiversity group of WEAct as soon as their task was over.

213 children completed the course. The finish line was crossed after a run which lasted 7:13 and the tail runner took 29:33. It was good to see so many children enjoying running with, or without, their parents.

It was a great day to run and there was a loooong queue at the ice-cream van!

Happy running to you all.
