Today's chilly London Fields junior parkrun had the support of 6 well-wrapped GoodGymmers to help bring 35 youngsters from start to finish line.

Rue took the role of Run Director today and started the kids off with an incredible Haka to warm up and get motivated for today's epic run. The children (and adults!) got into the spirit and had fun with it - with Rue making special note to respect the Māori roots of the ceremonial dance.

Check out the awesome images!

John, Nick and Jess took on key marshal positions around the course to keep our youngster running safely in the right direction. Sooz managed some precision timekeeping, and Louise (who had already run to parkrun!) bravely took on the role of Tailwalker. This week that required a lot of running, to pick up late comers and catch up with the tail of the course. A lot of kms picked up for Louise's January Challenge pledge!!

A big GoodGym welcome to Jess who came to her first session this morning - and headed on to the FUNDAY SUNDAY task straight after. Well done Jess!

Come along next week and join Rue again to enjoy some wholesome volunteering fun on a Sunday morning.
