Report written by Liv Parker-Scott
Last night we teamed up with local running club The Ealing Eagles to help marshal at their inaugural Blondin Park Relays event!
For something a bit different we headed out to marshal for the evening making sure all the runners went in the right direction throughout the event and members of the public were kept safe amongst the stampede! Everyone had to run 8x800 in teams of two (4 laps of the park each) which sounded brutal and exhilarating in equal measures!
Not wanting to miss out on the running fun, we started at our usual location in Ealing Broadway and ran as a group through the lovely Walpole and Lammas before arriving at the park for our duties. Everyone was kitted out with lovely yellow official marshal bibs (a bit boil in the bag on such a mild evening!) and shown to their positions.
We all stayed to watch the finish ceremony before heading back on our run to the start. Everyone was really delighted to have been able to support the event and thought it was lovely to be able to see lots of local runners giving it their all on a Tuesday evening. Hopefully it will be a yearly event and we'll be able to help again in the future!
Finally, a massive congrats to Jenni who completed her 150th good deed last night! Amazing stuff, we'll definitely be celebrating that one on the next social!
