It was a bright and sunny morning at Queen's Park Junior parkrun, and although there was a definite chill in the air, the conditions were perfect for a run!

There was a bumper turnout of 95 young runners, all ready to put their best foot forward. And they certainly didn't hang about everyone had crossed the finish line in just over 20 minutes!

I was on marshalling duty at the top of the park, cheering on the runners and offering plenty of encouragement as they made their way around the course.

With all 95 runners safely across the finish line, it was time to lend a hand with the tidy up and pack everything away.

A fantastic morning of sunshine, speedy little legs and plenty of smiles. A great way to start a Sunday!

Well, we could not have asked for a better morning to take on our first ever volunteer headliner spot at Hove Promenade Parkrun.

12 Brighton GoodGymmers made their way down to the gloriously sunny Hove seafront to volunteer at the popular Saturday morning event, which requires a minimum of 40+ volunteers each week to run safely. Our headliner spot came at a great time too, as only last week the event organisers had to cancel last minute due to a lack of numbers.

Most of us took on the very important role of marshaling along the route, guiding runners and perhaps more importantly, cheering them on. First-time parkrun volunteer Liam even said that "shouting words of encouragement at random runners" may be his new favourite hobby, and we don't disagree!

Ruth and Ben get brownie points for arriving super early to help with the set up, while Stefania gets an honourable mention for making it in time despite sleeping in....

Perhaps the gold star of the mission though should go to our very own furry GoodGym mascot, and the best good boy there is...Cody :)
