Keeping the juniors on track!

Sunday 23rd March

Written by Michael Pirrie

This Sunday I headed up to Queens Park Junior Parkrun to marshall a misty course for all the young runners. There was still a good number of runners who came despite the bad weather predictions. There were also plenty of speedy finishers with some adults looking more tired than the runners!

Everyone stopped for a quick photo at the end before packing up and heading home feeling all the better for our run or good deed.

Sunday 9th February

On a grey and drizzley Feburary morning three Good Gymers made their way up to Queen's Park Junior Parkrun. Brighton's newest Parkrun always needs volunteers to run (literally and metaphorically) Despite the weather 41 runners came with 32 volunteers supporting! Phil was running a tight ship as Run Director and Michael was keeping track of timing. I was marshalling and encouraging runners up the hill.

Sunday Junior Run Day

Sunday 3rd November 2024

Written by Sarah Katharine (She/Her)

Three Good Gymers made their way bright and early to Queens Park Junior Parkrun (Brighton's newest Junior Parkrun). Encouraging young people to get outside and be active.

The Parkrun was set up by the Friends Of Queens Park Group. Who's mission is for the park to be enjoyed by people of all aged.

We were assigned our roles and with a winding course lot of marshalls were needed!

Nicola was at the important marshall point four - encouraging the juniors who had dashed up the hill.

Rosie was barcode scanning and cheering and congratulating the finishers.

I was stationed on the finish tree encouring juniors into the finish funnel so they didn't dash round again.

We left with a spring in our step and another good deed done.
