GoodGymers from Ealing, Hounslow and Hammersmith were at Acton Junior parkrun this morning in numbers, 8 or them, which matched the attendance last time. Participation was down though. The weather was half as good as in June (is it autumn already?!) and there were less than half as many children, with 39 today vs 87 in June.

As usual, GoodGym was helping all over the course with Chikako as the VI Guide and Michelle, Alan, Joanna and Sevan keeping the children safe and motivated in their marshal roles. Around the funnel, Divy was timekeeping, while Kash and Harvey were both attracted to the barcode scanning roles.

Kash and Harvey are both experienced barcode scanners, Kash with Junior parkrun and Harvey more often at adult parkruns. This may explain the difference in their styles with Kash treating the runners as children, having a little trust in them. She took each token from the runners, scanned and carefully placed it in its special container herself. Harvey on the other hand treated the runners as adults, giving them the responsibility to place their tokens in the box at his feet... with mixed results.

While the number of runners was low, there were some good results recorded, with the first girl achieving a PB as she finished in second place overall ⏱️🙌
