Today 9 GoodGymmers headed to Pomphrey hill (some on foot and some on wheels) to marshal a VI Runners' guides' 10K race which saw them take on 6 gruelling laps of the park. The race was organised by Tracy one of the VI runners who wanted to give something back to their amazing guides 🙂

We were briefed by Tim and Mel and given our marshalling positions and before long the first runner came speeding through. The start times were staggered meaning all of the runners were doing their 6th lap together and GoodGym made sure they were all well encouraged along the way..

After the race finished, the winner was awarded a huge trophy and our Mel got a bottle of wine for her excellent finish time recording. We were all given some delicious pastries and Quality Street as a thanks before we headed on our merry way.

Big thanks to Sal for organising this. We had a fantastic time!
