Fletcher Moss parkrun

After Christmas and the New Year, there are often bumper numbers taking up running and going to their local parkrun, which is fantastic! On 3rd January, Fletcher Moss broke their attendance record with 595 participants!

For the GoodGym January Challenge, why not give your local parkrun a helping hand and sign up to volunteer! With bumper numbers, they need a bumper volunteer roster. Check out the map and parkrun events page to find your nearest one and drop them an email to see if they need an extra pair of capable GoodGym hands. Under the Volunteers tab, there is a Future rosters page to check how full (or empty) their volunteer roster is.

I have listed several below that are in Manchester and the surrounding areas. If there is a favourite, we can arrange a GoodGym takeover perhaps!
