GoodGym Woking were delighted to welcome Harvey Gallagher, a GoodGymer from Ealing, who joined us ( Kirsty and Karen) to help at the Park run this morning.

The sun was shining, the autumn season was off to a flying start and there was a fantastic turnout of children and parents. And judging by some of the times, everyone had clearly decided it was a morning for putting their trainers into top gear! ⚡️

A huge well done to all the children for getting out there and giving it their all, to the parents for cheering them on, and to all the brilliant volunteers who made it happen.

What a great way to start the autumn season! 🍂👏

Last night, six members of GoodGym Woking went on a plogging mission near to the Hoe Valley.

Adam, our designated photographer, Julie, who is thinking about training as a Run Leader, Karen who has now completed 40 good deeds, Kirsty whose enthusiasm for GoodGym knows no bounds, Luan who is determined to join our tasks and missions more often and Anne, armed with Woking Council's litter pickers eagerly joined forces to fill up three enormous bags of rubbish.

Our plogging was met by local people expressing their gratitude, which boosted our spirits! We also appreciated completing this task in the daylight and without feeling cold or wet! Let's agree that this second plogging session was a (rubbishy) success.

A perfect August morning, with great weather conditions for the children to run, parents to spectate and GoodGymers to marshal. Anne, Steve and Karen were there to assist alongside all the other volunteers.

An excellent turnout of 170 children made for another worthwhile morning of volunteering, with lots of “Thank you, Marshal!” from very grateful children and parents, and plenty of high fives to keep the younger runners motivated.

It was lovely to see Anne back volunteering at GoodGym junior parkrun this morning.

The three GoodGymers — Olalekan Anne and Karen — carried out their usual duties at what was a very well-attended session, despite the school summer holidays. The cloud cover made for ideal running conditions and, judging by the pace, it certainly seemed like a fast one!

Well done to all the children who took part, and to the carers who were either running alongside them or cheering them on from the sidelines.

It is such a privilege to support and encourage the next generation of runners. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👏

Woking Junior Park Run Despite the summer holidays there were several new participants this morning joining a great turn out from regular runners, parents, families, and friends. For the first time in what feels like months there was an overcast sky and even a few drops of rain but not enough to discourage some great individual performances. With Olalekan volunteering as barcode scanner and Karen and Steve-as marshals. Well done to everyone involved, a brilliant event, hope everyone has a great week and is ready again next Sunday morning.

The weather was perfect, making for an enjoyable event for everyone.
