Camino Ultra London 50km- Epping Forest Aid Station Party! (UPDATE - BUTLER'S RETREAT)

About this session
DaznBone (aka Darren Strachan and David Bone) and the Camino Ultra team are putting together the logistics for their next 50km ultra race (running from Wanstead Flats, up the green corridor to Epping Forest and back), and have invited the Goodgym crew to get involved!
If you would like to run the race, then a sign up can be found here:

(I recommend, it's an absolute blast!)
Goodgym Aid Station Party
On the course, there will be 4 major aid stops, and we have been invited to take over either the main turn-around point, or the penultimate aid station.
This will involve providing water and snacks to runners of all abilities during the key stages of their race, and to support them with smiling faces and enthusiasm!
First aid and medical assistance will be provided by professionals and trained volunteers, not us Goodgym folk.
More information to come, but please feel free to sign up here to get involved!
We are likely to start a WhatsApp group to assist with communication during the lead up to the race itself.
UPDATE - 26th September 2022
DaznBone have agreed that Goodgym will take on the key mid-point aid station on the course.
Butler's Retreat cafe is checkpoint 1 and checkpoint 3 on route. Looking out for the runners passing on the outward section and then the return trip.
To accommodate this, we can offer an earlier shift (particularly good for folks wanting to do cross country!) or a later shift (great for those who want to enjoy a party at the Golden Fleece in Wanstead afterwards!)
A WhatsApp link group will be made on Wednesday 28th September.
What to look out for

Why was this event not a Mission”? We don’t get any GoodGym credit for assisting at “social”

Hi AJ. The last time I listed a similar event, I was told that volunteering for races doesn't earn good deeds. However, considering that other running event marshalling events over the weekend are definitely set up as community missions, I will re-list this now.
