Junior Parkrun School Launch Report

WELL - I challenged the school to see how many of you could turn up and nearly 30 of you managed to come up to Brookes Sports Field on Sunday morning! The adults had been a bit wary of the weather but by 9am the sky was clear and blue and the sun was shining! What perfect conditions to launch our partnership with school and junior parkrun!
54 participants turned up and (at least) 26 were from Team North Hinksey! I say ‘at least’ as there were some participants who didn’t bring a barcode so their name doesn’t show on the results page.

Of those 26, 10 were brand new parkrunners! Welcome to the club Athena, Ben, Chloe, Florence, Isla, Lucy, Maya, Miles, Rosie and Yusuf! We also had 4 new PBs! PB means Personal Best, so Finley, Isaak, Katy and Rose all completed the course in their fastest time ever – Well done!
Anna was the first to make it through the funnel from Team North Hinksey (TNH) – congratulations! Danny ran brilliantly, clearly helping Katy to her PB and we had some great costumes from Daisy, Gil and Oz! It was lovely to see a return from Dania, Joni and Humphrey this week, with Charlotte, Lucy and Harriet too! It just shows that you can have a
break for a few weeks (or months!) and still come back and have a fun time!

Now I remember also seeing Alkinoos, Louis and Sophie but as their names were not on the results page, I am guessing they forgot their barcodes. If I have forgotten anyone else, please forgive me!
If you didn’t make it this week and would like to have a go, or indeed loved it so much you can’t wait to return, there will still be some sweet treats left over from last week’s Halloween event! There are enough left over for every participant to get another treat!

I will be there on Sunday, marshalling on post 1 or 2 so I really look forward to seeing as many of you as possible again! For all the necessary details go to https://www.parkrun.org.uk/harcourthill-juniors/

SEE YOU SUNDAY!
