It was our regular first Friday of the month helping out at the Ealing Mile, just one of the many activities organised by We Run Ealing to help the good people of the borough get active. Steph was super punctual (he's that kinda guy) and helped with the set-up. Harvey was exactly on time (he's that kinda guy) and went round the course practicing the art of drawing arrows with chalk (needs some work!). Tom whisked in on two wheels (he's that kinda guy) ready to be the lead bike for the runners. And a warm welcome was given to the smiling Yonas (he's that kinda guy) on the occasion of his first session.

Our crew marshalled and cheered and clapped as 45 runners got stuck into the 1 mile loop of Lammas Park. One of our regulars was getting back to running so walked the course. In true Tour de France style, Steph and Harvey followed behind to sweep up! Broom broom!

See you next month milers!

It was a lovely, sunny lunchtime in the park to help out at the monthly Ealing mile. And great to see Louise from GoodGym Islington.

20 runners took on the one mile circuit. Amazing work from everyone.

With volunteer numbers thin on the ground, our team rocked up on a Friday lunchtime with We Run Ealing to support the monthly Ealing Mile. Despite the inclement weather, runners still came out and duly ran the one mile loop of the park. Good on 'em, we say!

Alongside our monthly volunteering session at Acton junior parkrun, we also organised a collection of old running shoes from the children and families at today's event. And they did not disappoint! The shoes are headed for JogOn, who will find good homes for the better ones and break down/recycle the ones at the end of their lives.

This was a weekend for shoes collections, as Osterley parkrun did the same yesterday! A huge thanks to their team for adding our shoes and transporting the whole lot the to Jog0n warehouse!

Thanks to the amazing team at Action juniors and We Run Ealing for their support and letting everyone know about the collection.

A trio of GoodGym folk were on hand to help out at the Ealing Mile, a monthly race organised by the good people at We Run Ealing/Ealing Half Marathon. They registered runners, marshaled and cheered!

The conditions were ideal - blue sky, a bit chilly - as the 23 runners of all ages circumnavigated Lammas Park.

The runners have a break in January to over indulge! See you again in 2026.

It was the annual We Run Ealing/GoodGym Ealing collection of old running shoes at Gunnersbury parkrun. Our combined volunteers were on hand to make sure shoes were tied together and thrown into our sack. But that was not enough, our team also ran the parkrun and volunteered with barcode scanning.

Thanks to the generosity of our a local man with a van, the shoes are now on their way to Jog On, bound for a new purpose. The ones that can salvaged will be passed on to runners around the world who can't afford decent shoes. The rest will be broken down and recycled - a right result!
