Here comes the run

Help, I need somebody

The call came out from Junior parkrun that they were really short of volunteers. Not wanting to see an unnecessary cancellation on the 20th anniversary weekend, John and Belinda agreed to Beatle along to help. (See what I did there? Too subtle? Look out, there’s more to come!)

Keeping them on track

John was positioned at both the exit to the field, and the entrance to the track. Hopefully the runners would know whether they were coming or going. John couldn’t be certain because they were here, there and everywhere.

How many Meggies?

The trouble with Junior parkrun is the high expectations. Fitness and education! The apostrophe police were out today. It’s not a school day. Just let it be!

All together now

Gathered together for the warmup, the runners windmilled, jogged and kicked themselves before being given their ticket to ride. To be fair, most ran, some definitely wished they could ride though.

Hello Goodbye

With a little help from their friends who responded to the emergency call a successful event took place. 120 youngsters completed the long and winding course, wishing Lady Madonna had been available, but had to settle for Mrs Robinson giving them their token.

Did you spot all nine (eleven!) Beatle references in the report (and the rather invasive Simon and Garfunkel one), or are you the Walrus that sank the Yellow Submarine.
