It was a wet Sunday morning so it was great to see a bunch of eager volunteers down at London Fields.
First timer to London Fields juniors, Rupert, made the critical Timekeeper task look easy, tracking all 20 budding young runners round the 2 loop 2km course at London Fields.
In less than half an hour, every youngster had made it round and the cheering coming from the finish line helped spur them on!
Rupert and Sooz made light work of packing away and soon junior parkrun was complete for another Sunday.
Hope to see many more GoodGymmers down next week!

Eight awesome GoodGymmers got down to Hackney City Farm for some forking, shovelling, digging and shifting as we moved compost across the farm.
The farm is re-building one of its composting areas with some colourful new pallets so we needed to re-site the compost before the next task: building the new composter!
Huge props to Alicia for coming down to her first session and getting properly stuck in!!
Jacqui, Lucy, Alicia and Alice got started on the digging and loading; Sooz and John heading back and forth with the barrows, whilst Emre and Dan got on with re-siting the compost.
Massive team effort, and we’re now more than halfway through the re-siting and the compost is looking gooood!

Five go-getting GoodGymers created one lovely loggery for local wildlife at Hackney Marshes.
It was a beautiful sunny February morning at the Marshes, as Sooz, Jen, Alex, Deirdre and first timer Karthik joined Gideon and Nina to build a new home for small mammals, critters and insects in the area.
They wheeled barrows and equipment around the football pitches before settling on the perfect site for their muffin-shaped masterpiece.
It was strenuous work for the fivesome but there was no stopping this team!
Jen started by creating the first of five holes to fit the stakes, and Karthik collected logs, whilst Alex, Suze and Deirdre and then Karthik took turns with the stakes.
Nina showed the group how to dig out the undergrowth and leave entrance holes for the small mammals like field mice and snakes. They then built up the loggery with piles of strategically placed logs and wood chipping.
Gideon even took a break to give a group of local ramblers a short ecology talk!
Before long the team were taking shifts collecting chippings and “GoodGym favourite” leaf mulch, whilst Karthik helped Gideon and Nina to nail the wire frame around the stakes.
After more chipping and mulching - and a lot of heavy lifting - the muffin-esque loggery was complete.
Mission accomplished!
