What a lot goes on behind the scenes at parkrun! I got a taste of it today as part of the pack down team. There were cones, signs, and more cones to be collected, kit to be sorted and, of course, the wrangling of the start sign. 💪

Great to meet the Girls That Jog group, who were keen to hear more about GoodGym 🙌

At Coldham's we pace! The first weekend of the month is pacer week at Coldham's Common parkrun, which means we can get our run in while volunteering 💪 We love all parkrun volunteering roles, but there's nothing quite like being caught up in the energy of the crowd. The best part this week was speaking to park runners who had never run with a pacer before and found it really helpful. And there's nothing we love more at GoodGym than helping people reach their goals 🙌

Big shout out to GoodGymer Harriet who was a fantastic volunteer coordinator at Fulbourn Hospital parkrun this morning. What a morning for it! I joined to marshal, directing and cheering 150 brilliant runners and walkers who battled the heat.

We will be back again soon!

On Thursday 29th May, three cambridge goodgymers helped Cherry Hinton Care Home get 30km closer to John O'Groats in their challenge to cycle the length of the UK to raise money for Magpas Air Ambulance chairty!

It was some hot and sweaty work, but our pedal power brought the care home just 30 km off their total target! It was a great day and lovely to chat and bring some smiles to the people in the care home.

High drama at parkrun this week with a newbie parkrunner slipping out of the finish funnel for another 85m in pursuit of a PB. Thankfully, we had a great group of GoodGymers helping to keep things running smoothly! We were doing a bit of everything today - as well as managing the finish funnel, Eva and Nick were marshalling and Alexandra was tail walking. Brilliant to have so many of us working with other parkrun volunteers.

Congrats to all parkrunners who battled the humidity, and we look forward to getting back to Storeys Field soon!

I have 34 pending with the council! Mattresses dominate as you probably know.
