It was a dark and stormy night in Liverpool, followed by a rainy morning, but that didn't deter eight GoodGym members from joining the regular volunteer team at The Mystery junior parkrun. Forty youngsters braved the rain on the course, some big puddles, and the mud in the finishing funnel to complete their free 2km run, walk or skip today.

Emma, Christine, Mat, Pauline and Sam provided GoodGym cheers and high-fives en route, while Tim took on the role of Timekeeper for the first time and did it perfectly (despite his look of trepidation on the photo here!), Roz scanned barcodes (for the 31st time!!!) and Jo kept everyone in order in the finish funnel. After that we were more than ready for breakfast with the team at The Watering Can cafe nearby.

Thanks to the Mystery core team for their warm welcome today - as Run Director Graham encouraged all the kids to shout in the warm up: "GoodGym - good job!"
