When we arrived at the beach we were greeted by Jade ( the organiser ) with a big hug and a really warm welcome. Our first job was to unpack all the boxes of medals and get them ready for the finishers.

We were very fortunate that a family who were also taking part in the Family Mile later that day had arrived early to help with this task. With so many hands on deck we were ready in no time to greet every finisher with a medal and well- deserved cheer as they crossed the finish line. The most memorable ones were those running in tandem as a sausage dog or a dinosaur. Although visibly exhausted all runners thanked us and some even performed celebratory dances . It was great fun being there to welcome everyone and be part of such a positive atmosphere.

3 GoodGymers together with a local recruit set their Sunday alarms early to arrive at 8 am at the Littlehampton 10k ready to assist in registration and giving out medals.

Many thanks to Barbara, Daisy and Stéphane for giving up their lie in to help out. Barbara also recruited Rachel to help too which turned out to be super useful.

By all accounts it proved to be very windy and very busy.

Daisy ended up helping out with water whilst the others concentrated on medals.

Thank you all on a great job done 🙌🙏
