Five GoodGymers took on a dozen volunteer roles between them on a busy Parkrun morning. With last week’s deluge thankfully behind us the park was sunny, dry and teeming with happy parkrunners.

Small in number but highly visible, between us we helped set up the course, checked it was safe, briefed a huge crowd of first timers, marshalled the run, scanned barcodes and managed the finish funnel. Once everything was done we helped to close the event down, packed up the trolley and returned it to the boathouse ready for another week.
