Our intrepid Goodgym crew made their way to Water Station 4 (Pritchard's Road) very early on Sunday morning, excited for a big day out. Upon our arrival, we met with volunteer coordinator Polly and the lovely team from Fordy Runs Running Club in Broxbourne (https://www.fordyruns.com/) for a briefing and log in as official volunteers for the day. We were running against the clock to fill 30 tables with water cups to hydrate20,000+ runners before 9.40am (the estimated time for the first runners approaching mile 8 of the half marathon - so so fast!!!). Each table had 5 layers of drinks laid on top of each other, to ensure easy distribution during the race.

Between our teams, and some much appreciated help from the local cadets, we had a perfect aid station set up by 9.35am- and then the party started. Non stop cheering and joy for all of the runners on the day, perfect running conditions and fantastic vibes. It was wonderful to spot our Goodgym runners out on course and to help them on their journey back to Hackney Marshes.

Well done on an excellent morning of support for your fellow runners! And have a fantastic rest of your weekend!
