58 children joined us this week, on a warm sunny Sunday morning, to make their way round Yeovil Rec for event number #95.

Following on from the run brief, this weeks energetic warm up was lead by Ethan and Sienna visiting us from Woking Junior Parkrun. Thank you for joining us and we hope you visit us again in the future!

After a countdown of 3, 2, 1, there was a mad dash off the start line before the runners settled into their rhythm to complete two laps of the park.

First across the finish today was Finley Swinnerton in a time of 08:24, well done!

We were joined by 3 first timers today so a very warm welcome to them and we hope you enjoyed it. 11 children achieved personal bests and 2, Ellen Chaffey and Edith Cody, completed their 11th Junior Parkrun today earning their half marathon bands. Please let us know when you’re next with us and we shall have them ready for you. Congratulations to you all.

As always, a massive shout out to all the volunteers who helped today, without whom the event wouldn’t be possible.

On a cloudy morning with the temperature reaching 20 degrees Celsius the course was set out without any problems. The course appeared dry and fast.

This week had been a struggle getting all the volunteers required to run the event, but they all turned up ready to encourage and ensure the safety of our children. A big thank you goes out to all our wonderful volunteers.

Ethan an ultra for 50 runs, Jake a marathon for 21 runs, Evie and Fletcher a half marathon for 11 runs, Congratulation to them well done.

Up to the start with smiles on their faces the runners eager to go. After a count down from 3 they surged off the line, before settling into more relaxed rhythm. The leading runners quickly pulling away from the field.

While the midfield runners were battling hard between themselves.

The first runner home was Charlie Mahoney in personal best time of 7:28. The second runner Leo Andrews also had a PBs of 7:46. Both these are in the 11-14 age category. In the under 11 category Fletcher Aslett finished third in 8:50. The first girl home was Phoebe Phillips in a new PBs of 9:24.

Run # 92

Posted on July 17, 2022 by yeovilrecjuniorsoffice

On a sunny sunny sunny Sunday morning 36 4-14 year olds graced the rec at Mudford for Yeovil Rec junior parkrun event number 92.

Following a brief briefing, Adam and Cadie handled the warm up, getting everybody run-ready without warming them up *too much*.

Off to the start line, where Sandra, our videographer for the day, managed to capture all our runners while minimising the obstacle element of her position. See our facebook page for the video.

With lots of youngsters helping out today, the new junior hi-viz vests and bells were in demand.

And all the volunteers, both young and slightly-less-young, did a fantastic job of facilitating a smooth event and cheering our athletes round the course. Email in if you want to be a hero yourself!

A big welcome to Jack and Albie, completing their first ever parkruns today. And a big hello to Theo, Alfred, and Poppy who were partaking in a spot of tourism this week. Despite the baking hot conditions, three of our regular parkrunners finished with new PBs. Well done to William, Evie, and Jack.

Cheers are also due to Harry, who was awarded his half marathon pace band, and to Zani, who was awarded her marathon pace band. We look forward to seeing them proudly on display next time.
