2020 dawned bright and dry as four fantastic GoodGym runners signed up to help marshal at Princes Park.

The first Parkrun of the new decade drew a crowd of almost 350 runners, and our first task was to help cheer them on as they set off in pursuit of pb's and New Year resolutions. The fastest finishers flew past in record times.

Pauline was understudy to Matt, who was stepping down after four years as race organiser, handing out finisher tokens. Kira and Sam had the daunting task of scanning barcodes, while Yan, armed with a very official looking clipboard, was in charge of writing down details for those that were un-scanable.

The atmosphere was fab, runners gave it their all, and the marshalling team were a very friendly, supportive and encouraging bunch.

Several GoodGym runners took to the track, racking up some of the first km's of the year...towards our January Challenge target. Well done John, Eimear and Adam.

Looking forward to helping out again on Saturday, earlier time, same place. 😉
