For this morning's task we were running on kindness (and coffee!). Joining forces with some lovely folk from Running Events Cambridgeshire, we delivered over 500 leaflet packs in support of Cambridge City Foodbank's winter appeal.

Meeting in Eddington (post parkrun for Caroline, Ross and Catherine) we welcomed Greg and Susan to their first GoodGym session 🎉

After a warm up and briefing we split into two groups and headed off! Caroline, Julieth and Daiana covered the miles in Eddington, while the rest of the group headed over to Girton, taking turns to run with the leaflet-laden backpack (kudos to Greg for the lion's share of weighted training 💪).

It was a real team effort, and with good conversation and some laughs, the time flew (as did Susan, speeding up and down the streets of Girton 🙌). We were soon all back at Dulcedo Social for much-needed coffee and pastries, which were as motivating as the cause itself.

We got our heart rates up and the kms in while doing something positive for the community, and left with spirits high.

Fitness, fun and community - the foundations of a great GoodGym session. ♥️

This weekend, a group of goodgymers helped out with parkruns all around Cambridge!

At our first Brook Leys parkrun of 2026, Catherine and Caroline had an early start to set-up the course. Beginning with signage around the lake, the duo then set up the start area and got creative with some cones to set up a 2-way system at a tight corner. They even bumped into some of the Girls That Jog at the start line 💪

All this served as a good warm-up to then run the course together, with Ross and Nick joining for even more goodgym representation 🪧🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Over at Fulbourn Hospital parkrun, Harriet had a full roster of volunteers to coordinate, and the session was a complete success! 🏆

As is becoming somewhat of a tradition, the group enjoyed pastry treats and some hot drinks to warm up afterwards 🥐☕️

A bit of soggy plogging for this evening's task.

Five Googymers braved the rain to help keep the streets of Cambridge clean and tidy. We jogged along Mill Road and split into two teams to litter pick our way back to the meet point. We found the usual coffee cups, plastic bottles, and a shocking number of cigarette butts. Nick had been at it before we met and collected a bag full of batteries! As a bonus we saw a Dinky Door (tiny street art), which is always fun.

The weather might have been miserable, but catching up and improving the local area always feels good.

We're half way through the January Challenge and we end the week with a few more kms and some all important good deeds.

Well done team 🙌
