Three GoodGymers, Three Parkruns, One Scorching Saturday!

The sunshine certainly turned up the heat again this morning, but that didn’t stop three dedicated GoodGymers from keeping up our favourite Saturday routine—running and volunteering at our local parkruns.

Cecilia headed to Charlton parkrun, squeezing in a run before taking on barcode scanning duties to help process the finishers. A perfect example of combining fitness with volunteering!

Meanwhile, Ivar volunteered at Sutcliffe parkrun, helping to make sure another fantastic event ran smoothly. A few people needed some extra encouragement today since the humidity and temperature was ruthless. “Awful” was the word used by several of the runners.

Over at Greenwich Peninsula parkrun, Aman was also flying the GoodGym flag, supporting another brilliant community event and helping hundreds of runners enjoy their Saturday morning.

Despite the scorching conditions, volunteers, runners and walkers all showed incredible spirit. It’s always inspiring to see communities come together, whether you’re chasing a PB, taking it easy, or giving your time to make parkrun happen.

Three different parkruns, one shared GoodGym mission: getting active, giving back and starting the weekend the best way possible.

Well done to everyone who ran, volunteered and remembered to drink plenty of water. Here’s to another Saturday well spent!

Till next time. Cecilia D🍀
