On a blustery Saturday morning GoodGym Portsmouth took over Southsea parkrun.

We had so many volunteers they ran out of hi viz vests. Luckily we were still quite visible in our red tshirts!

Tony headed off to the turnaround point with the fold up cone and the rest of us posed for photos before the runner arrived and we needed to get to work. Maxine was on stealth photo mode capturing people in action. The GoodGym flags were repurposed into temporary barriers after the pier.

Once the runners started coming in it was a hive of activity with Jen, Laura and Tim on quiet duty of token sorting... You just can't talk and count.

Great jobs by everyone, thanks very much for coming out on a cold Saturday. We might make this a regular thing so watch the listings...

Have a great rest of weekend. ☺
