Four of us from Goodgym Birmingham helped out at three parkruns across and just outside Birmingham, while another helped somewhat further afield. Steven was a one man army at Woodgate Valley, while Ryan marshalled and Miriam was timekeeping at Edgbaston Reservoir. I was also on timekeeping duties out at Sandwell Valley, being eagle eyed to break up the conversation as I noticed the fast runner coming in to break the course record. Liam showed great commitment to scan barcodes at St. Mary's parkrun out in Bridport. I'm assuming he's on holiday, doing some tourist volunteering, hence the pun.
