What a glorious day for a junior parkrun. We were blessed not only with amazing weather but also some great Good Gym volunteers, big shout out to Maria and Moses especially for their first visits to LF junior parkrun, and Nicholas a superb tail walker . Of course, the whole thing can only happen through the efforts of volunteers and DoE participants Daisy, Joel, and Zach are now old hands – whilst super parents Johnny, Melanie, Neil, and Ben made sure we could get underway.
With the 32 runners assembled we welcomed Angiolina, Ines, and Max to their first parkruns, and Sydney’s first at London Fields. We also congratulated Khian on completing his Marathon! it was wonderful to see Paula, who was instrumental in founding the local parkrun and served as RD for many years, returned to provide support. Maya assisted with the warmup before the run began. Herbie achieved a personal best time, leading the group. There were five personal bests in total that morning. As the main group finished, they were met with applause from parents and early finishers. The volunteer crew made quick work of the pack up and it was all over for another week.

15 runners came down to London Fields today and it was a smashing day for beating records and setting personal bests.

Nicolas and Sarah once again set up the course, ensuring that no youngster would get lost en route, whilst Nick and Sooz prepared the start and finishing straight.

Sooz gave the runners briefing and welcomed today's newcomers, and handed over the warm up to our young Duke of Edinburgh volunteers.

It was a fast course today, with the action wrapped up in 20 minutes and a speedy task putting everything away.

Once again a big thanks to GoodGym - the event couldn't run without you!
