Three GoodGymers made their way down to Forest Rec to help out at this weeks Junior parkrun. Elspeth and Peter donned their yellow hi-viz and collected their arrows and cones to marshall around the two lap 2km course. Rachel meanwhile, put on the orange hi-viz, ears and tail for the important role of "tail" walker, brilliantly assisted by daughter Nefeli. 27 enthusiastic runners and walker made it round and Peter reached his 25 volunteer milestone. Just goes to show, not all heroes wear capes!

Gwyn and Tracey met up with our chums at Forest Rec junior parkrun and enjoyed encouraging the sixteen children (and a few accompanying adults) in their two-lap run of the field.

Gwyn was timekeeper, and Tracey marshalled at puddle corner. We had a nice warm drink in Homemade cafe with the other volunteers afterwards.

Tracey and Gwyn from GoodGym Derby were on their way to a concert at the Royal Concert Hall. It didn't start until 11, so they volunteered at Forest Rec junior parkrun first, then joined the team for tea at Homemade Café. The tail walk was very fast, as was the prestissimo of the Waldstein Sonata!

Today I joined a group of other volunteers to encourage twenty juniors (and a few smiling parents) to complete the 2k course at Forest Rec junior parkrun. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

If you'd like to do something very similar next Sunday (22nd January) at Markeaton, then do join us for Gwyn's group run which will be great fun.
