GoodGymers were running around courses and earthworks at parkruns this week.

Welcome to Josie who joined for her first GoodGym task. She ran and then helped sort tokens at Coldham's parkrun, fuelled by brownies that had been baked for the volunteers! The run was muddy (although no where near as bad as Milton has been recently) but luckily the rain held off until the end.

Harriet was volunteer coordinator at Fulbourn Hospital parkrun and had an eventful start to the morning having to create course diversions around building works that had sprung up. With a solid team effort the amended course was signed off and all went smoothly.

Caroline and Catherine were off representing GoodGym and running parkruns in Europe. Catherine getting a 'Z' for her parkrun alphabet in The Netherlands, and Caroline braving the -8 conditions and running in the snow in Oslo! ❄️

The sunshine was glorious but fooling no one at Coldham's Common parkrun this morning. Well done to the 285 runners and walkers who braved the icy conditions (felt like - 6!) to complete their 5k 🙌

I was on number checking duty and managed to keep warm running between timer and finish token volunteers. All aligned, so well done team!

What a delight to be out doing some good on a perfect autumnal morning. 🍂

GoodGymers supported parkruns across Cambridge with Alexandra park walking and Catherine supplying finish tokens at Coldham's Common, and Caroline park walking at Milton Country Park.

Caroline celebrated her 10th parkrun volunteering milestone with company as her favourite auntie and favourite mother (self-titled) came all the way from South Wales for their first ever parkrun. Well done team 🙌

Park walking allowed for a different experience, encapsulating the true spirit of parkrun: "We enjoyed the gorgeous weather and being out in nature, with the autumnal leaves and stopping to enjoy the beautiful views. We were surprised and appreciative of runners offering their support as they went by." 💛

We were supporting Coldham's Common parkrun in the sunshine this morning, cheering on over 300 runners and walkers! 🙌

Caroline was on duty as a Marshal and I was handing out finish tokens. It's always a buzz to see parkrunners through the finish line - all with a mix of relief and sense of achievement. 💪

Volunteering alongside other parkrun volunteers, we had some very inspirational chats about ultramarathons and multi-day hikes. Training started with post parkrun pastries 🥐

A great morning marshalling at Coldham's Common parkrun. The atmosphere is always brilliant with lots of friendly runners and walkers. Well done everyone 🙌

At Coldham's we pace! The first weekend of the month is pacer week at Coldham's Common parkrun, which means we can get our run in while volunteering 💪 We love all parkrun volunteering roles, but there's nothing quite like being caught up in the energy of the crowd. The best part this week was speaking to park runners who had never run with a pacer before and found it really helpful. And there's nothing we love more at GoodGym than helping people reach their goals 🙌
