Three GoodGymer's cheered on runners at the Norfolk marathon.

Becky, with her dog Emmy, marshaled and encouraged runners on one corner just after mile 20, whilst at one point nursing an unwell runner who later left in an ambulance. She was also joined by many family and excited children cheering on runners.

Meanwhile Jonathan and Susanna managed a busy water station just before mile 20, preparing and separating electrolyte drinks and water for each runner as well as tidying any cups or gel sachets left by runners along the route. Similar to Becky, they encountered a young unwell runner and provided him with water and food before he was attended by medics and taken away to the finish line by car. Many runners needed their own bottles refilled but needed assistance from GoodGym to fill them up due to fatigue so late in the race.

Managing water cups for runners became crucial as stock was low but fortunately the run director arrived to provide a few more to help.

Managing and redirecting locals unaware of the race in vehicles too was a challenge faced by the GoodGymer's at both Marshall points, however they were friendly and accommodating.

A bright Saturday morning set the scene for this feel‑good GoodGym mission at St Andrew's Triwse, combining fresh air, teamwork and more than a little tidying. The group ran and cycled their way over, warming up nicely before tackling a busy set of tasks. On arrival we split into teams and got straight to work. Team Shed took on the big job of clearing and reorganising a very cluttered space, uncovering long‑forgotten items and transforming the shed into something usable again, whilst evicting a LOT of spiders.... Meanwhile, inside the church, one GoodGymer calmly dusted pews and surfaces, helping bring a fresh shine back to the building. Outside Deepak swept through the churchyard, removing stray chairs and so on. Halfway through, we were treated to tea and cake, which gave everyone a welcome boost. Emrys the dog was especially pleased about this development — he even attempted to liberate a slice when he thought no one was watching. He also made a new friend: a lovely big greyhound who seemed delighted to meet him. After just over an hour of steady graft, the shed was sorted, the church interior refreshed, and the churchyard looking cared for. A brilliant way to start a Saturday, full of teamwork, wagging tails and very good cake.

New Brooms please

A great morning task revisiting Mousehold Heath to cut down some broom off the slopes near the Britannia Road car park.

It’s important for some areas of the heath to have clear grassland for wildlife and to maintain the stunning views of the city the area offers.

12 GoodGymer's got through a lot of broom and deposited the cuttings further down the hill which will provide a habitat for other wildlife too.

A big welcome to Aardra and Deepak on their first GoodGym task and congratulations to Danni for reaching their 10th task!
