They say good things come in threes. How about fours? Four GoodGymers, four kilometres run and four bags of litter collected. Doesn't that sound like much bigger wins?

Alan and Maria from GoodGym Hounslow joined Ealing regulars, Steph and Kash, for the last chance to do a group run in 2025. The route took them from Ealing Broadway to the notorious alleyway between the Holy Family Primary School in West Acton and the A40.

The litter hunt brought a variety of findings: a hula hoop, a lamp, tennis balls, and last year's Christmas tree, complete with presents (empty cans and bottles) underneath. The fantastic four finished off the fruitful litter picking session with an uphill run back - a group run in North Ealing doesn't count without a little hill session!

With 2025 rubbish done and dusted, we're looking forward to the first group run in the New Year, and hoping you'll join us for a woodchipping task in Walpole Park!

Chilly Sunday morning and yes children and volunteers went out for a Junior parkrun. As the goodgmyers were early, they helped Jane setup the course. Signs were given and sone arrows were the wrong way, then a volunteer suggested to have the funnel the other way. Could we have an original park run today and have it going the other way round? Backwards running too? That would be fun and confusing for all. We decided not to go for the backwards run but for the original way of running and swapped the arrows tk the corext way. 25 Juniors collected tokens from Alan. Kash was then barcode scanning. During this time, Maria, Harveyand Steph Ducatwere making sure the children were running to correct way and also giving loads of high 5's. Then Chikako followed the last runner as she was tail walking with her daughter.
