Parkrun On Tour: Southwark

It's great to see regular faces coming to these "Parkrun on Tour: South London edition" as our third race brought us to Southwark Park. A 3-lap course, where many runners get their PB. Would any GG members be getting theirs today?

With summer-like conditions, 13 GoodGymers were present to take on this speedy course.

We had members from GoodGym Tower Hamlets, Lambeth and Hammersmith & Fulham. Amazingly, Alan had his warm-up by running from Hammersmith....just a 10 mile warm up before Parkrun... 👀

Today, was a special parkrun for one of our GoodGymers....she's Irish, she's bubbly, she's the one and only: Aine. She was running her 50th parkrun! She even wore a shiny pink birthday hat throughout the run ✨🎈

We all lined up for our start and then off we went! Setting our own pace, here were the results:

1. Matthew - 39th (20:53)
2. Sam - 65th (22:09)
3. Katy - 89th (22:58)
4. Jen - 120th (24:17)
5. John - Unknown, but guessing 166th (25:55) as very close with Paulin
6. Paulin - 169th (26:00)
7. James - 179th (26:20)
8. Alan - 185th (26:32)
9. Sophie - 244th (29:48)
10. Dave - 247th (29:53)
11. Becky - 266th (30:54)
12. Aine - 274th (31:12)
13. Ayub - Unknown

Great running from everyone on this summer-y Saturday!

After the parkrun, we made our way to the local Spoons (The Surrey Docks) for a deserved authentic Spoons breakfast, especially the avocado (onions) on toast! A breakfast for champions!

Well done everyone and looking forward to seeing you on another "Parkrun on Tour". The next one we will be taking on the hill(s) of Hilly Fields on Saturday 30th of April. This is a popular parkrun for the GG Lewisham gang, so great chance to meet members from the Lewisham borough, if you haven't met any of them! Check the details and sign up here!
