Yorkshire marathon weekend is always a great weekend on the running calendar and this year was no exception. GG runners who weren't taking part this year were keen to sign up in mass for the opportunity to be part of the 3 mile water station.

With 3 pallets full of bottled water to unload and bottle tops to be flipped open we cracked on in earnest and before long 4 different stations were loaded and ready to. With a few mins to spare before the first runners arrived there was just time to have a quick high intensity workout to prepare ourselves... exercises included eating brownies, biscuits, ginger parkin and Mitch learning to 'Floss.'

'I just like swinging and thrusting' - Mitch

After all the marathon runners had passed there was sufficient time for the tables to be restocked ahead of the 10 mile runners arriving. Ben was taking great pride in the presentation so much so that it seemed a shame to spoil his work of art and hand any bottles out!

Soon after all the runners had passed the evidence that we had ever been there had all gone. Most of us then relocated to various places on the course to spread some GG cheer to all the participants! Well done all!!
