Nearly 5 years ago, one of GoodGym Stockport's earliest tasks was to help Alexandra Park Primary School to de-weed and clear up their outdoor area to allow it to be utilised by the pupils in the warmer months. 5 years on and we were back for more of the same!
We set off from our Life Leisure base for an uphill sprint, with a scenic park loop added for mindful measure and clocked up 3km before arriving at the School.
Peter, the school's Business Manager, greeted us with tools and tasks and we set off with the challenge of clearing the area of weeds.
We dug, we shovelled, we weeded and we chatted before completing the task (bang on time!)

Handed out the well deserved finish tokens to 676(!) runners and walkers at University Parks parkrun event #115. Juno helped with the slick operation to hand out tokens to the queues of runners coming through the triple funnel. Seemed to go by without a hitch!

Last night was the first of the sun runs and we welcomed some returning newbies, first time GoodGymers and also a Taskforce member from the soon to be set up Manchester GoodGym!
We were doubling up on our tasks this week, for our regular task owners - The Stockport Post and Together Trust. It was a double whammy delivery deed!
We set off from base for a downhill, weighted 2.5km - and were joined along the route by another GoodGymer, (The hop on bus!) before heading to our task point where we split our delivery load and cracked on with the task in hand!

455 runners joined for event #201 at Fletcher Moss parkrun on the weekend of the Manchester marathon bringing lots of tourists! I was on 1st timers briefing duty and jumped in to help with barcode scanning and funnel managing given the number of runners and to help with queues and runners backing up in the funnel. Good luck to all those running tomorrow!

With the number of food banks on the rise and the number of people using them also increasing, we're once again simply asking the running community: Will you run to your local food bank?
During the last Winter, we were astonished by how many runners wanted to support their local community through the Food Bank Run.
Over 500 groups, clubs, events, parkruns and other got involved.
In total, over 77,000 KG's of supplies were donated which is the equivalent of 3 arctic lorries full. That translates to 336,875 meals for families and individuals who are struggling to put food on their tables.
This month, GoodGym areas did a food bank run takeover to support our local food banks with much needed items.
7 Stockport GoodGymers (with two runderful newbies) loaded our sacks and ran the 2.5 km weighted, uphill route to our local foodbank. We stocked the shelves with our goodies before running the distance back!
We (tin) CAN do it!

Marshaled and help set up and clear down at event #200 at Fletcher Moss parkrun this morning. 404 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on a warm and windy spring Saturday morning. Juno was master of cones and made sure everyone kept their spirits up when going past Marshal point 5 near Old Bedians rugby club.
