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 🙌

Another cold one this morning at Fulbourn Hospital parkrun, but people weren't deterred and there were an amazing 173 finishers 🙌

It was an early one for Harriet, who was run director for the first time and out course checking at 7:30! She did a brilliant job delivering a clear briefing and making sure all was running smoothly. Well done 🎉

I was timing and couldn't feel my fingers by the end, which didn't help for token sorting afterwards.

As always, we finished the morning by heading to the cafe to warm up.
