What a jolly morning! We had a whopping 74 runners supported by 13 volunteers, plus many parents, family, and wellwishers—a true testament to the spirit of GoodGym and the power of community coming together!

Our fantastic turnout was largely thanks to Mr McCauley, Headteacher at William Patten Primary, who took up the Primary Parkrun challenge. His assembly did the trick—we welcomed 30 first timers! What a brilliant way to grow our community and get more people active together.

It was a morning of all-round celebrations as Good Gymers Sooz, Marion, Ching Yi, John, Md, Anta Saffia, and Rue leapt into action. Ching Yi celebrated a first as timekeeper, while her fiancé Marion coached runners round as tailwalker. With Sooz as Race Director, Anta Saffia,Fuad, and John on hi-fiving duties as marshals, we were onto a winner—proof that GoodGym is all about teamwork and lifting each other up!

A beautiful autumnal morning—fresh but dry, with rain coming later. Post-event, we set off to our favourite Mare Street Marketplace for hot drinks, cake, and results processing—that post-run glow shared over cake is what community is all about!

We had an early-cake toast to Ching Yi and Marion, who marry next Saturday! They'll be running Finsbury Park parkrun that morning, suitably attired to symbolise their marriage later in the day. Want to wish them well? Wear your GG top and come cheer their shout-out—let's make it a proper GoodGym celebration!

Here's to GoodGym—where fitness meets friendship, and every run makes our community stronger!
