This weekend GoodGym helped COBS with the marshalling duties at the midlands road relays. The normal core volunteer team are no longer involved, so without local clubs supporting this event wouldn't be able to take place.

Great job by everyone involved and thanks for your support!

Tonight we joined COBS for their weekly run. Amanuel came to say 'hello' but unfortunately due to an injury couldn't run.

We ran the usual winter route after a warm up from Richard. On a cold night we were certainly keen for a warm up and to get running!

Though once done we were suitably warm!

This week we once again joined the City of Birmingham Striders for a 4 mile run around Birmingham. Great effort this week, especially dodging the crowds of Lewis Capaldi fans and NIA!

A big well done and thank you to everyone who helped and supported COBS in hosting the cross country race on Saturday, ensuring that there was a full season of fixtures.

The conditions were extremely wet and muddy but this didn't keep runners away. We were all on marshalling duties, and everyone did a great job ensuring that people stayed on course. So the race was thankfully uneventful despite the conditions!

A special well done to Amy, Liam and Richard who also raced when not marshalling - I also tried to race but gave up after a mile because my shoe kept getting stuck in the mud and falling off - so even finishing was a great achievement!

This week we joined our friendly local running club COBS for an 8km run around Birmingham.

Great work everyone!
