It was a rather overcast and chilly Sunday junior parkrun morning at Woking park.

There always seems to be a smaller turnout this time of year - perhaps due to the fact that it’s December, perhaps due to seasonal sniffles going around keeping people under the blankets at home.

52 kids still turned out for today’s parkrun and spirits were high, there were even a couple of Santa hats spotted on the course.

Four of the 32 volunteers were representing Woking Goodgym: Adam, Rich, Victoria and myself. Victoria, Adam and I all marshaled at various points around the course, whilst Rich had the role of timekeeper.

A stalk on Strava revealed that Adam and non-Goodgym Rich had completed an 8 mile run before arriving for their volunteer shift.

The run briefing revealed that Goodgym Rich and non-GoodGym Rich had both reached their 100 volunteer milestone - what an achievement!

Junior parkrun is back next week, shortly followed by the Woking & Sam Beare Hospice Festive Fun Run which we spread the word about on Wednesday’s group run.
