Without the help of Michael, Fiona and Flo, Cardiff junior parkrun would have been in dire straits on Sunday.

It was all thanks to the wonderful volunteers who came forward to help out at Cardiff junior parkrun event # 462 on Sunday. ❤️🦺🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️🦺❤️

There was one junior earning their Ultra/50 wristband, and two juniors earning their half marathon wristbands. Well done all! 👏🏼💪🏻👏🏼💪🏻👏🏼💪🏻

Here are some more numbers from the day. Two of the run directors got some pretty impressive volunteer stats, 250 volunteer credit and 200 volunteer credits. Finally, one of the regular volunteers achieved her 150th volunteer credit. 😮🏅😮🏆😮🏅😮

There were 138 juniors taking part, 26 of those were first timers, and 32 achieved a new PB time. Awesome! ⏱️🆕️⏱️🆕️⏱️

Nic, Michael, Martin and Flo all were down at Cardiff junior parkrun to volunteer. Cardiff junior parkrun was hosting a lot of extra new special guests. These were runners who had been expecting to do the Family Run the day before the Cardiff Half Marathon as part of the running weekend, but were left disappointed when it was cancelled due to the Storm Amy weather warnings.

These runners were able to take part at Cardiff junior parkrun instead, and experience the feeling of crossing a finish line to a cheering crowd.

As a special treat for my 150th parkrun volunteer credit, I decided to visit Cwmbran parkrun. I have run at Cwmbran parkrun twice before. By my own self imposed rule, I would need to volunteer there before I run there again. So off I went to Cwmbran Boating Lake where the parkrun takes place. I was volunteering as a barcode scanner. I only had one problem, which was the wrong finish Token being scanned with a barcode. Oh well, nothing that the run director couldn't solve.
