Triple Task Sunday: Caledonian Junior parkrun marshalling

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Caledonian Junior Parkrun and Caledonian Junior Parkrun in Islington.

  • Simon Fitzmaurice
 
Sunday, 29th of May 2022
 
Led by Simon Fitzmaurice

The first of Area Activator Simon and John's busy Sunday morning of Goodgym community missions.

The team at Caledonian Junior parkrun were a bit short on numbers this time, due to the half term holiday related absences. However, we were able to contribute towards providing a full functional team to allow the event to go ahead!

Junior parkrun is a free weekly timed 2km event, specially created to allow 4-14 year olds to run safely and independently. John helped as a finishing token checker, while Simon lead the warm up and served as a marshal for a key turning point between laps 2 and 3 (this is a 3 lap course!). Afterwards, we picked up a couple of coffees from the Tolpuddle Café, and walked to Penn Road Gardens (our next task)!

Note

We will be back again next week for more half term marshaling if you are free?
