2 Goodgymers supported and ran at Leamington Spa parkrun at Newbold Comyn.

Despite a warm start to the day, the turnout for Parkrun was pretty good with runners huddling in the shade as they listened to the race directors briefing. Thankfully a lot of the course was under the trees which made the heat slightly more bearable.

At the end of the run, Nigel and Katherine helped to sort the 364 runner tokens with help from sorter mastermind Trevor. It was all very organised with a dedicated table with rows drawn on for every 10 numbers make it really easy to see if there were any missing tokens. The main challenge was trying not to drip on the table after our sweaty Parkrun - yuk!

With all the tokens sorted and safely back on their holders, the job was complete.

Well done to Nigel for completing his first Parkrun at Leamington Spa and not even needing to walk up the big hill!
