We've never EVER undertaken good deeds in Newport before!

The time is nigh for Newport to lose their GoodGym virginity. With runners coming from Cardiff and Bristol in various modes of transport, and some even running, 11 runners made their journey to Newport for a takeover of Riverfront parkrun. Melanie was lead photographer, Lowri was funnel manager (a role she has now made reference to on her CV with the description, 'Coordinator for an event that boasted over 200 participants' and others taking on other roles from marshaling to barcode scanning.

The sun always shines in Newport, and it did actually stop raining for the first half of the parkrun. It's great to see so many people being active, and an opportunity to raise the profile of giving fitness a purpose. A great Cardiff/Bristol hook-up to do good. And jump!
