16 GoodGymers helped fill out the volunteering roster at Woodhouse Moor parkrun in Leeds.

The temperatures had dropped, and it was a little frosty, but there was never any chance of this one being cancelled.

GoodGymers from Leeds and York came together to set-up, marshall, time, scan, cheer and more! It was fab to see so many GoodGym t-shirts around, and even better to spread the word about the great work we're doing in Leeds. Aron got up and said a few words to the 700-plus crowd before the start (although Run Director Curtis almost forgot to give him his moment in the spotlight!)

It was great that this was some people's first experience of parkrun, so hopefully they will be back. I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to link up GoodGym and parkrun in Leeds, so watch this space!
