For those signed up to the Junior parkrun volunteering task (https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/volunteer-at-ockwells-junior-parkrun-4c3ec404-e2ae-4770-9c25-5982c6294955) this would be an ideal way for you to bin(bag) yourself 2 good deeds in one day!

You can still come along to this litter pick even if you are not signed up for Junior parkrun - the more the merrier! We will be meeting near the main car parks in Ockwells, next to the Cafe and play area.

Please let Sophie know via the WhatsApp group if you need litter picking equipment. Otherwise please bring your own along with gloves. We will litter pick for around an hour, staying in small groups around Ockwells and the surrounding residential roads.

Junior parkrun is a weekly, free, timed 2km run for 4-10 year olds. It is a brilliant, welcoming, family event and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to help out this week.

Before the session please email Amy at amylovell@goodgym.org with your Parkrun barcode. If you don't already have one please register by clicking here.

You can find out more about the volunteer roles available by clicking here. Some jobs can be done by the same person. E.g. run report writer can also do another job.

If you have a yearning for a specific role then please say so in the comments below or let Amy know when you email her with your barcode. Otherwise jobs will be allocated at random.

There is a little bit of training involved for scanning and time keeping and for those roles you will need to download the free Virtual Volunteer App onto your phone.

Volunteers must be on site by 8.35am for a briefing, but if you are up for a short run then say so in the comments below and come 15 minutes early at 8.20am - we can do a lap of the course together.

This egg-cellent Good Friday 10-miler is a cracking way to kick off your Easter weekend!

This is Maidenhead's local race: organised by MAC and really well supported and attended by the local community. Support includes GoodGym volunteering on the course, so if you don't want to run then head over to this community mission listing instead

The relatively flat course covers 10 miles on rural roads and paths around Maidenhead. A few laps of the Maidenhead Office Park at the start give plenty of space for the pack to spread out and for last minute trips to the portaloos! The race then breaks out onto scenic bridleways West of Maidenhead, and past one of the country's oldest and best known airfields at White Waltham.

Please note, GoodGym does not allocate places for this event, this page is simply used to coordinate meeting with and supporting other GoodGym members who are attending. You should sign up to this listing AND you need to sign up through the official race page for an entry.

Note the start time for the run is 9.30am but the group will be meeting earlier in the race village.
