This week we found the wonderful monthly Junior Parkrun at Savill Garden. It has to be one of the most beautiful courses and Theo ran inspired fashion finishing 13th out of 142 runners in a time of 9.40. Thank you so much to Anna for giving Theo a wonderful shout out before the run.

Theo ran at Laleham this week which is close to the banks of the Thames, another beautiful location for a Junior Parkrun. In blustery conditions Theo came in 7th out of 60 participants clocking a time of 10.15.

This week took Theo to Aldershot and once again we were all made to feel so welcome by Jamie, Sally and the whole team. The windy conditioning made the course a tough one and Theo finished 16th out of 164 runners in a time of a flat 10 minutes.

Theo received a lovely shout out from the Leatherhead Junior Parkrun team before successfully completing his 18th run of his challenge. His time of 9.26 wasn’t quite as speedy as last week but another very solid effort. Theo’s enthusiasm and commitment to complete the challenge remains truly remarkable.

We left Brighton in the rain and arrived in Reigate in the sunshine. On this beautiful all grass course Theo took the opportunity to wear his spikes and clock a new Personal Best time of 9:03. The team at Reigate gave Theo a great shout out before the warm-up inspiring him to run quicker than ever before.

Run number 16 came at Horsham on their final event using the winter course. Theo clocked another sub 10 minute time finishing the course in 9:45. Great job Theo!

Theo was motivated to push his limits at the Worthing Junior Parkrun, especially, after running within himself the last couple of weeks. Theo crossed the finish line in a hugely improved time of 9.24. Keep going Theo!

Run number 14 was a special one. The sun shone on the fabulous Brighton Miles event. There was a wonderful festival vibe on Preston Park and although Theo didn’t run as quickly as his performance at the Half Marathon Youth Race he still put in excellent time of 7.29 finishing 47th out of 162 runners.

Theo ticked off run number 13 today in the beautiful Stoke Park. After a week off skiing, it has certainly made it difficult to get close to PB territory but Theo ran much quicker than last week with a time off 10.21 finishing 20th place out of 87 runners. Well done Theo and thank you so much for all your donations so far!

Theo put in a fantastic effort today, pushing through despite an early slip that caused some pain. His determination to keep going showed real commitment to his challenge. After a week off and six days of skiing, his legs were feeling the strain, but he still managed a time of 11:27. Tonbridge was buzzing with runners this morning, making for a great atmosphere and an enjoyable run!

A special milestone for Theo—his 150th parkrun! It was a beautifully sunny day on this hilly course, where he powered through to finish in 9:20. The amazing volunteers made the event even more fun, and Theo especially loved the gladiator foam hand high fives, which added an extra bit of excitement to counting the laps. A fantastic run all around!

A beautiful morning at Tilgate Junior Parkrun for Theo’s 10th run. This is a stunning course with a lake at the heart.

Grateful to be part of such a supportive community. See you again soon Tilgate!

A beautiful, sunny day on Brighton seafront set the stage for Theo’s 9th run. Competing in the boys 7-8 age group, Theo ran an excellent race, giving it his all and finishing an impressive 12th out of 112 runners. The announcers gave him and his challenge a shoutout, adding to the excitement of the day. It was also inspiring to see local GB athlete Alex Riley starting the race. A fantastic event and another strong performance from Theo, well done!

A real highlight for Theo was meeting Harry, a national table tennis champion who has Down’s Syndrome. Harry came down to volunteer and support Theo, and his inspiration clearly gave Theo an extra boost!

Well done, Theo—fantastic effort!

Run 4 🏃. Theo really enjoyed the run in Chichester today and ran the 3 laps quickly in a time of 09:27. Well done Theo!

Run number 3 completed today at Haywards Heath Junior Parkrun! This was a challenging course, filled with plenty of ups and downs (quite literally, thanks to the hills). Theo tackled it brilliantly, finishing in an impressive 10 minutes flat. Next week, we’re planning to take on a course in Derbyshire while visiting friends. Theo is looking forward to the new challenge!

The sun shone as Theo completed the 2nd 2km run of his challenge in a time of 9.45. The freezing temperatures and cancellations at Haywards Heath and Eastbourne and an early stitch did not deter Theo as a quick switch to Hove Park worked out perfectly to keep the momentum going. Thank you to everyone that has donated so far!

It seemed fitting to complete the first run of this challenge where Theo first started running Junior Parkruns, at Peacehaven. It was a rainy day but Theo completed the 2km in 9.55.
