Sunday 8th March
Report written by Sevan
There were surprises at Pitshanger Junior parkrun after the morning's fitness session, with a new clip-on tiger tail putting a smile on Kash's face. She showed it off as she and a second tailwalker brought up the rear, making sure all runners made it to the finish safely. They were misled by latecomers, having to drop back to pick up a new 'last child' more than once.
The other 4 GoodGymers, Harvey, Maria, Steph and Sevan were all assigned to be a formidable cheering force at one marshal point, quadrupling their volume to give the runners a boost to the finish line. As well as cheering, Steph and Harvey played a global game of guess the football strip, spotting supporters of Morocco, Valencia, Brentford and the mighty Hanwell Town.
Near the end of the parkrun, the tailwalkers stopped and looked confused. After picking up extra runners around the course. The last one decided to dive into the nearby playground instead of reaching the funnel, leaving the number of today's finishers at 98.
