A great turnout at Crewe parkrun by the GoodGym gang!

Karen and Nicola teamed up as timekeepers, Karen also "meeted and greeted" the volunteers and made sure everyone know what to do; Nigel was on course set-up; Mark welcomed first timers with a description of the course and how parkrun works; Marjo was our star baker; and Marjo, Nigel, Emily, Maurice and Kat all did the "gym" bit of GoodGym by completing their favourite 5k of the week.

Well done everyone!

After 2 weeks enforced break due to Jack Frost, it was great to be back in the park again. Mark was Run Director today, and led a great event for 359 partucipants and an incredible 40 volunteers! Mark really took it in his stride when he found the pacer bibs had gone missing, but the show must go on - and there were lots of happy people grateful for the pacers today. Reports of PBs were incoming!

Mark was tasked with getting photos - he's such a shy retiring type we were surprised to get lots of selfies of him with the other volunteers! Not! Lol. His main task was to get a pic of camera-shy Nicola carrying out the first timers welcome - pleased Mark did get a pic for us! Marjo completed one of the most popular but longest tasks at parkrun today - the lovely token-sorting task, accompanied by coffee, after completing her parkrun. Well done Marjo!

Well done Mark, Nicola and Marjo - you made a lot of people happy today.

What a way to start 2025! 323 parkrunners and 30 volunteers - including 7 GoodGymmers - all leapt out of bed to join this special parkrun. This week the 7 Goodgymmers carried out the following roles: event set up, volunteer coordinator, first timers welcome, timekeeper, barcode scanner, number checker, course close down, token sorting, and the all important roles - participants! Why else are we all here?! Another lovely morning with lovely people, well done everyone.

Six GoodGymmers brought the sparkle to Crewe parkrun on a dreary damp Saturday between Christmas and New Year. Karen, Nicola, Maurice, Mark, Marjo and Nigel all volunteered, covering numerous roles: volunteer coordinator, returning rescued signs from the last parkrun (thank you Maurice!) , course set-up, barcode scanning, timekeeping, tidying away the kit ready for next week, helping an injured runner, sorting the tokens, and social media. Every part was greatly appreciated by the 325 participants.
