John Lennon — 'Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.'

Last week, everything was not okay and it was not the Endcliffe Parkrun. That is to say, they could not muster enough volunteers and had to cancel the event, which is pretty poor given it is the most well attended in Sheffield.

This week there was a full roster, partly in thanks to us at GoodGym. The RD put out a plea at the beginning to encourage people to keep volunteering, especially those who run regularly.

I (Rachel) felt the pressure as timekeeper for 542 runners, Ellie helped keep the complicated funnel system run smoothly and Celine kept runners safe along the route as marshal.

At the end, we reconvened with runners Hannah and Annie for breakfast and chat before home. Look out for future GG Parkrun support events and consider if you could volunteer more often. All the details are on the parkrun website.
