Report written by Rosie Baker
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 :)
