For the third time this month, we bolstered the ranks of the Mile End parkrun volunteers with a strong contingent of GoodGymers assisting in making the wonderful event go ahead as smoothly as possible.

New Taskforce member Philippa marshaled her first junior event, and was joined by fellow marshals Isabelle who is leading the charge for Tower Hamlets in the January Challenge with 10 good deeds completed so far, Elizabeth who is still going strong with her remarkable challenge to do at least one good deed per day in January (keep it up Liz!) and me. We were stationed along the course offering up a joyful barrage of encouragement to the young runners enthusiastically making their way around the two lap course.

Visiting hero Hannah was tasked with Barcode scanning, and very adeptly processed the parkrunners as they crossed the finish line to ensure their results were recorded accurately.

Another successful event aided by the team, and certainly one we will be revisiting in the future, so keep an eye out for future listings!
