On a very wet Yorkshire day, GoodGym representatives from all over the place came to man the official GG Water Station!

With so many of our fellow GoodGymers running the 10 mile, marathon and the marathon relay, it was a fabulous spot to support from. We arrived and quickly set about unloading thousands of bottles from pallets and filling up tables ready to keep all those runners hydrated.

We were so efficient that we finished about an hour ahead of schedule and enjoyed the Water Bottle Workout to warm up a bit, and to practice the important skills of handing out water to runners. After that, Nikki invited us all back to hers for a quick cuppa, which we were all very grateful for.

Once the hoardes arrived it was all hands on deck as we frantically handed out bottles, did loads of cheering and handed out bottles again. Beth was chief GoodGym spotter and we made a lot of noise for every GG t-shirt we saw!

There was a brief respite before the ten mile runners came through, just enough time to prep the tables again before another round of madness.

Once the last runner was through, we helped tidy up and headed straight over for loads of cheering!
