It wasn’t just about volunteering today! Two of our team decided to pull on their trail shoes, braving the icy paths to join the masses for a brisk 5k. It was a proper fresh start to 2026, with the cold air and slippery ground making for a focused training session. A great way to bank some early miles for the year and contribute to RED January - can we keep the momentum going?

We kicked off the first GoodGym session of 2026 with a high-energy morning at Morden Parkrun! It was a brilliantly busy turnout; with a nearby event cancelled, we saw a huge influx of runners eager for their first Saturday 5k of the year.

The team braved the icy, cold temperatures to support the core volunteer crew, keeping the finish funnel flowing smoothly and warming up our hands with some post-run token sorting. Despite the chill, the atmosphere was fantastic - a perfect way to ring in the new year with the local community.

With 2026 just about up and running, so were GoodGymers from all over the country, picking up litter in their local area. Great that so many folk got involved in this task - what an excellent way to start the new year. Keep up the excellent work all!
