John and Emma were up early - though not too early, as Mile End Junior Parkrun doesn't start until 9:30 - to marshall the course and to cheer on the smiling kids

Marshalling plays a key role in ensuring the event runs safely and smoothly. We offered encouragement along the way, helped keep participants on course and reassured parents and spectators throughout the run. And it wasn't too cold

Events like Junior Parkrun rely heavily on volunteers, and the support from GoodGym made a positive difference to both the organisers and the children taking part at Mile End Park. The collaboration highlighted GoodGym’s commitment to combining physical activity with community support, while helping to create a fun and safe environment for local families
