This morning, six wonderful GoodGymers joined the regular Hornfair Junior parkrun volunteer team to help make another event run smoothly. From cheering to guiding to keeping everything on track, everyone brought great energy and big smiles.

Another great Sunday morning spent supporting the juniors, the community, and each other. 🫶🏼

Two GoodGymers joined forces with the other dedicated parkrun volunteers to help support the junior parkrunners, ensuring their safety and making sure they had a fun, memorable experience.

The love and enthusiasm for junior parkrun continue to shine, no matter the weather! Despite the chilly morning, participants and volunteers alike were unstoppable, with sunshine greeting everyone as the event kicked off. It was truly heartwarming to see the dedication of siblings who came out to support each other. Not only were they cheered on by their parents, but they also came prepared with a positive attitude, ready to enjoy the event together.

One of the highlights was the warm-up session, which was led by some of the children themselves. It was a wonderful sight to see young participants confidently guiding the group and setting the tone for the event.

What truly captured the spirit of the day, though, was the way the younger siblings supported their older ones. It was so cute watching the little legs in their dresses racing alongside their older brothers and sisters, offering encouragement with every stride. It was clear that these young athletes are already learning the importance of teamwork and support at a very early age.

A special mention goes to two children who completed their 11th junior parkrun and earned their well-deserved wristbands. Congratulations on reaching that milestone.

It’s always a joy to be part of these events—so glad I came! What a fantastic way to kick off the day.

Until next time. Cecilia D 🍀

The Goodgymers have been out and about again this week, taking part in parkrun volunteering roles. Linda took the lead as Run Director, making sure everything ran smoothly and safely. Roles were well allocated, and I positioned myself near the café—joined by *Mimi. I was one of the marshals, cheering on the runners and great to spot some familiar faces out there — a few GoodGymers were running too! It was another fantastic morning for a run—blessed with sunshine, though it did turn a little nippy toward the end! All in all, what a great way to start my Saturday—being outdoors, giving back, and feeling part of the community.

Not tried parkrun volunteering yet? You should — it’s loads of fun and totally worth it!

Till next time, Cecilia
