It wasn't quite the workout we had planned, but cycling into a headwind certainly got the heart rate up!

Wind stopped play for our group run, so we switched to two wheels to get our donations to a Cambridge City Foodbank donation point. It was hard going, figh-tin against the wind, and we were blown about a bit, but we valiantly persisted 💪

We donated a range of food and household items most needed by the foodbank to support members of our community.

Feeling rather windswept, we flew into town for a legendary gelato - becoming a regular feature at the end of a the end of a task 🍦

Cambridge Half 2026

We had a blast supporting the Cambridge Half on Sunday!

Welcome to Tatiana who joined for her first GoodGym task 💪

It is our first year with GoodGym representation both on the course and behind the scenes. Kate, Sadiya and Catherine were in the bag storage tent, helping manage runner's bags and Tatiana was managing runners in the starting pens before switching to handing out medals and tote bags at the finish line. From start to finish, we had logistics covered.

It's hard to describe exactly what 15,000 bags in a marquee looks like, but the picture gives a good idea. We played a game of Where's Wally (Catherine) in amongst the sea of backpacks. It was an early start and surprisingly stressful at times, requiring military precision to stack bags and eagle eyes to spot race numbers at a distance. Teamwork really was key and the highlight of the morning was meeting like-minded volunteers and sharing tales of races gone by (followed closely by the free gelato 🍦) .

As always with Cambridge Half, the atmosphere was amazing and it was a privilege to hear runners motivations for taking part and their experiences of the race. Despite having only 50m of elevation overall, there were a lot of comments about the incline out to Granchester; a hill by Cambridge standards.

All in all, a great day and here's to 2027!
