Once again, the GoodGym gang spread their efforts across Cambridge to help out at this weekend's Parkrun, with Catherine and Caroline bound for Brook Leys and Harriet heading to Fulbourn Hospital.

With Harriet leading the charge on the other side of Cambridge, Caroline handed out finish tokens and Catherine ran the course before helping with post-event close down. A whopping 451 others joined her to run, jog, walk and wheel at the last event before Christmas, bringing plenty of festive cheer! 🎅

🥐☕️ After some pastries and hot drinks to warm up, Catherine and Caroline jumped on their bikes and headed out to Fleam Dyke to make the most of the glorious winter weather. Caroline even kept up the tradition of getting a puncture, though at least it happened right at the end this time! 🚴‍♀️

❄️ The crisp winter's day helped everyone feel festive and it was marvellous to see so many people braving the cold and feeling festive 🎄

We put down our litter pickers, brooms and shovels and headed to the most highly decorated pub in Cambridge for a thoroughly festive evening. With thousands of lights, tinsel and Christmas jumpers on display, every inch of the place was covered and it felt like stepping into a winter wonderland. ✨

There was much festive cheer with chance for a good catch up and a lot of laughs, whilst enjoying the festive pizzas. Delicious.

Marking the first full year of doing good in Cambridge, we remembered some of our favourite tasks and the milestones we've reached. 193 good deeds since January means A LOT of brilliant people giving up their time to support 22 community organisations. 🎉

Thank you to all GoodGymers for being a part of it and making GoodGym Cambridge so special. We look forward to more in 2026!

Merry Christmas 🎄

This morning we were back at a gloriously sunny and crisp Milton Country Park parkrun 🧣🧤

Caroline woke up bright and early to help with pre-event set-up, walking a lap of the course to put out signs and cones to guide the runners and walkers, and then gave the first timers briefing. Helping out before the start meant Caroline could brave the cold and still run, proudly showing off her GoodGym tshirt and parkrun volunteer socks! 🧦

Catherine took on the fabulous role of congratulating and handing out tokens to the relieved finishers, keeping warm at the finish line and making new friends 🏁

After the event, everyone celebrated with a man named Gordon on his 500th parkrun! 🎊 What an amazing achievement, the GoodGymers are feeling suitably inspired.

The girls then went to a local cafe for coffee and pastries, for some added social fun 🥐☕️

What a wonderful start to our weekend!

Two GoodGymers headed to Castle School for our last visit of the year to clear the leaves from the front of the school.

We rolled up our sleeves and got sweeping, clearing the car park and the bike store 💪 With 8 large buckets filled, we left a sizeble leaf pile, which would make a cozy home for a hedgehog 🦔

After the session we headed to the Cambridge Winter Beer Festival to sample some festive beers. With names like Duck The Halls, Rein Beer, and Hoppy Christmas, they truly were GoodGym-worthy.

Cheers 🍻
