A pun‑stoppable GoodGym Luton crew took on Old Bedford Road tonight, splitting into a speedy running team and a steady walking team to deliver road‑closure notices for Love Luton RunFest. The runners shot off like a first‑class delivery service, racing all the way to the far end before working backwards, while the walkers address‑ed the route from the town centre upwards. House by house, door by door, we letter‑ally posted notices 8n a stamp‑ede, creating a perfect meet‑in‑the‑middle moment where the two teams collided in postal‑union. Royal Mail would be mail‑ancholy they didn’t have speedy mailers like us. A proper GoodGym delivery that proved once again: when Luton needs its notices dropped, we always go the extra mail.
We were so quick we even had time to slip off to the pub for a celebratory drink on a job well done!

Marshalling the Love Luton Run Fest was our third and final Run Fest volunteering session, after delivering road closure notices and packing the volunteer bags.
We were stationed at a point where we got to see all the fresh faced runners heading out and the sweaty ones coming back in again so double chance to cheer people along! DJ Duncan brought the music and we all joined in with the spectators to encourage the runner and give an extra big cheer to some of the friendly faces we've encountered through GoodGym!

We were enlisted this morning to help with the preparations for tomorrow's Love Luton Run Fest. So our little team of 5 goodgymers assembled at the Town Hall ready to create a production line to get the volunteer bags filled with goodies ready for tomorrow. There was a special welcome for Nooh as it was his first time at a GoodGYm task - and he made an excellent contribution to the team. It didn't take us long to get 120 draw string bags filled with lanyards, safety information, pin badges, water, plastic clappers, snacks, bananas and a cup for hot drinks. Duncan and Abdulrahman did a final count to check we had enough before we got them boxed up ready for tomorrow's event.

The Love Luton RunFest is coming up, and for Luton's biggest running event some roads will be closed, so it was our task this evening to run a long section of the route and deliver letters informing the residents of the details of the road closure.
With walkers and runners on the task the walkers started in town and delivered their way out, while the runners ran out and started delivering they way back into town. Meeting in the middle with all the houses notified we declared the task complete and returned to the start point.

The Luton Run Fest is coming up soon so it's time to let all the residents know about the road closures for this massive running event.
We'll be back on these roads at full speed in a couple of weekends but tonight it was a steady pace as we went door-to-door delivering letters with all the details for the residents.
Teamwork made the dream work as we sped along the road and delivered hundreds of letters in super quick time!

This week we were tasked with a delivery job, or a few hundred of them!
We were delivering notices to houses and businesses on the route of the Run Fest, Luton's biggest running event, letting them know the road will closed for the morning.
We split into walking and running teams and set off. Walkers started delivering immediately while the runners ran out to the furthest road and worked their way back into town.
Leapfrogging each other along the rows of houses, with 8 people posting we made rapid progress and before long the two groups met in the middle and we had time for a nice deep stretch in the park, plus a cheeky plank!
