On a cooler sunny evening, 7 GoodGymer's ran, walked or cycled to Douro Place.

This small green space is managed by Grapes Hill Community Garden, and we were met by 3 of their members providing tools and instructions.

The area had become overgrown with thistles recently, and weeds spreading out over pavement. So our first task was pulling it all out, cutting back the grass and edging. When 2 large sacks were filled, we tended to the shrubs and hollyhocks that have thrived here. After more planting and litter picking, the hour was up - it was great to see the difference we made!

Well done team!

3 lions powered their way around this 2k course, the sun was out and there was a breeze. well done to everyone

Celebrating 600 events here at Catton Parkrun with 405 people attending including a large number of those who attended the very first one! we had 5 Goodgymers volunteering & Alina, Maddy (&bump), Roisin, Rachel, Kathryn, Emily, Brad Goodgymers all running today.

366 people braving the searing weather 24 degrees at 08.30! Frankie & I welcomed 2 new Goodymers on their first Goodgym Mission. Well done see you again we were so busy helping our new recruits i forgot to take a photo!

The ethos of junior parkrun was on show today with a young person starting his Junior Parkrun journey this morning with his older sibling running with him rather than running her fast pace, so lovely to see. super day to all our runbers today, our tail walker only just managed to keep up! well done to RD Suzi today reaching her 300th parkrun volunteering credit . Goodgymer Liz was volunteering at Eaton Juniors well done to them .

It was a warm evening tonight! 9 GoodGymer's ran, cycled and walked bravely up Gas Hill to St Matthew's church.

We met Penny & Eddie who handed round drinks and pointed out where to work in the grounds and the car park, pulling up weeds and cutting back overgrown brambles & branches.

We started around the war memorial, pulling weeds from the paving around it, and cleaning off the dried moss.

In an hour we had also cleared the areas around the church sign, and improved access to the car park entrance.

Shout out to Mildrade, Konstantina and Hepsi joining us for their first group session! It was lovely meeting you all.
