4 Goodgymers braved apocalyptic levels of rain to support Coventry War Memorial Junior Parkrun.

The volunteers turned up fully prepared with brollies, waterproofs and walking boots at the ready. After putting on some (already) soggy high vis, Lil, Laura and Katherine who were marshaling walked/swam the route with the other volunteers to get into their allocated positions. Meanwhile Nigel waited at the start with his phone ready for barcode scanning whilst also keeping his fingers crossed that some kids turned up to run.

Thankfully there were a hardy few that came along to run through the puddles, so our soggy start was not in vain. The torrential rain didn't seem to bother the kids one bit as they dashed through the puddles. There were 10 finishers in total who all looked to be enjoying themselves - Peppa Pig eat your heart out!
