A grey morning brightened up with dazzling hi-vis Junior Parkrun volunteer jackets! The kids huffed, puffed and laughed their way around the 2 laps.

The Goodgymers were stationed around the course making sure the kids were safe, happy and encouraged - whether they were after a PB, they were first-timers or just chatting to friends!

Huge thanks to the Parkrun Directors and regular volunteers for such a lovely FREE Sunday warm up!

Six goodgymers supported the volunteer team at Colchester junior parkrun, to ensure 78 participants could complete their run in the sunshine. Some really strong performances and excellent sprint finishes were cheered in, with smiles all round. Well done everyone!

3 GoodGymers helped the the Junior Park Run to go ahead safely this morning while cheering on the young runners.

3 GoodGymers helped to marshal the Junior Park Run. It was a busy Sunday morning, with a fair and market on the same site, and so the core team were greatful for the additional support to keep everyone safe.

P.S. yes, I did forget to take any photos, but luckily there was a photo of all 3 GoodGymers on the Junior Park Run Facebook page....albeit Where's Wally style...

On a pleasant sunny Sunday morning, 8 GoodGymers, plus families, helped to cheer on, encourage and keep safe 98 young runners as they completed two laps of Old Heath Rec. It was lovely to meet Damon (with my sincere apologies for doubting your existence) and Alice for the first time.

It was great to then have time to catch up while sitting in the sun / running after young children.

Look at for another opportunity to marshal the Junior Park Run again soon as they are always very grateful for our support.

On a chilly damp morning 7 GoodGymers turned up to cheer on, direct and keep safe some enthusiastic young runners. The core team were very grateful for our support as it made their job much easier in filling all the positions.
