Today's 5km Shindig run took Katie, Ilana, Maxime and Sevan on a run through Donisthorpe Canalside Park, taking in lots of different road surfaces. Dirt, tarmac, gravel and rocky roads gave everyone a lot of variety. There was a surprise too running along the Ashby Canal, when they discovered the base camp of the American Civil War reenactment group on the way.

There were quite a few hills, some of them Cheeky, which were conquered and everyone enjoyed the scenic route that ended up being 5.8km in total.

Along with the mass of GoodGym runners and walkers descending on Conkers parkrun, 3 of the group helped to run the event too. Louise arrived first to help set up the course, which allowed her to run it too. Sevan was there at the end as one of today's timekeepers (surprisingly, both were in sync throughout) and Brenda took on the role of Walkleader at a parkrun where they can have up to 80 of them taking in the gently undulating course.

With the GoodGymers, including Ivo who finished 6th, there were 490 finishers recorded. As well as getting the finishers safely around the course, everyone met the extremely friendly locals and got some local flavour and recommendations for the weekend.
