Goodgymers were back along the towpath tidying and clearing away the vegetation plus the usual litter picking. Jen tackled the litter which was mostly floating in the canal. More than usual this time as the recent floods had sent the rubbish down to our patch. With Alison and Pete from CRT, five bags collected. Nick, Ian, Gillian and Mohamed set about cleaning up the towpath. Between them and CRT Rich and Nick they worked hard. The path is now perfectly clean and tidy... what a cracking job 👏 Today's shout out goes to Mohamed for clocking up a 12km run to our meet up point. Ian set off afterwards to walk back home. Great effort chaps! Thanks to Nick for the chocolate mini rolls 😋

With 2026 just about up and running, so were GoodGymers from all over the country, picking up litter in their local area. Great that so many folk got involved in this task - what an excellent way to start the new year. Keep up the excellent work all!

Today was the start of 2026 and some things never change we had goodgymers doing good deeds for the Parkrun community in Leicester. we had Nick and Ashley at Melton at watermead we had Dave and Dan and at Braunstone we had Amanda and Ian a great start to new year well done everyone 👏

With Watermead sadly cancelled numbers were lower than the water, with Dan organising Watermead Juniors and Nick at a foggy Melton Juniors, weldone both!
