A wee gaggle of Goodgymers rocked up to Maidenhead parkrun this morning. We were immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere, the run director giving milestone shoutouts to runners and volunteers alike.

We spotted and chatted to a few of our Windsor and Maidenhead counterparts and thoroughly enjoyed the course - a 2 lapper through some gorgeous woodland with Malcolm's Corner and the newly christened Nik's Hill as notable marshal spots.

It was Maidenhead's 9th birthday and people had been encouraged to both bake and dress up. It was so fun spotting costumes along the route - a dinosaur, unicorn, several pirates and an elf being personal favourites! The cake buffet was quite remarkable with a HUGE array of cakes including bricks of sponge and welsh cakes.

Defo one to visit again!
