Shouting and cheering about SEND

Today's mission was to support the spectacular SHOUTaboutSEND event - an inclusive 2.5k and 5k race organised by Derby special schools St Martin's and St Andrew's.

Ashley, Tracy, Pete and Naomi were joined by Johanna on her first task and Simon on his second. What a great opportunity to show new members how much fun GoodGymers have!

After a briefing and photo shoot (minus Simon as he was busy warming up for the race ... don't worry, I snapped him on the route!), we set off to our marshal points. The loopy 2.5k route, run twice for those braving the tropical temperatures and aiming for a 5k, took runners through fields around the rugby club on grass and paths.

Simon and Ashley ran, supporting participants around the course, while Tracy, Pete, Johanna and Naomi cheered, whooped, clapped and encouraged runners from their marshal points, whilst pointing everyone in the right direction.

A super event, a glorious day, a fabulous team 👏 Thank you everyone!

Our next Group Run is taking us to St Matthew's Church in Darley Abbey - there's still time to sign up!
