Led by Naomi Hope

Derby's fantastic half-marathon, the Ramathon, took place today. The iconic race sees participants running from the City Centre, through Pride Park, Alvaston Park and Elvaston Castle Country Park. And GoodGym volunteers were there to direct and encourage them!

The team had arranged a group fitness session to get to and from the marshal points (2.5 miles each way). Lorraine cycled, while Ashley and Naomi ran, clocking up 5 miles each with a lot of cheering in between.

Positioned along the river path, Ashley volunteered at the water station (just what everyone needed at mile 9!), with Naomi near the underpass (happy to tell runners they had a downhill ahead!) and Lorraine at the BMX track (10 miles in the bag!)

It was a day full of smiles, encouragement and fun. With lots of exercise, fresh air and inspiration!
