Report written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)
Disaster struck when a GoodGymer arrived ready to volunteer at South Norwood Country parkrun, only to discover the event had been parked due to TfL works in the car park! With volunteer points hanging in the balance and no time for a cool-down, they launched into a GoodGym-powered emergency transfer, sprinting across borough lines to Crystal Palace parkrun. There, organisers were facing a parkwalk crisis, with only a tail walker standing between order and complete parkrun mayhem. Our hero stepped in just in time, saving the day one encouraging stroll at a time. What began as a cancellation catastrophe turned into a personal best volunteering success, proving that when one parkrun closes, another opens its arms and says, "Have you got a high-vis vest?"
