GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Flyering in the Drizzle 🌧️

Mission: Spread the GoodGym love (and flyers) across Lambeth Weather: Grizzly drizzly (aka British summer preview) Mood: Absolutely soaking in good vibes ✨

Fresh off crushing our January Challenge targets 💪🏼🍾, we decided to ride that wave of positive energy straight into… well, an actual wave of rain. Because nothing says “let’s go outside” quite like horizontal drizzle, right? 😅

But did the weather dampen our spirits? Mist- ifyingly not! (Sorry, had to get that one out of my system 🎺)

Our superhero squad of Marie (Poppins - practically perfect in every way ☂️), Noelle, and Katie braved the elements to leaf-let the good people of Lambeth know about their local community fitness miracle workers.

We may have been getting soggy, but our enthusiasm was waterproof! 💧 Sure, the rain didn’t exactly flyer us up with motivation at first, but there’s something special about delivering these little paper ambassadors to our neighbours. Every letterbox is a potential new runner, every flyer a future friend getting fit while doing good ❤️

Mission status: Smashed it (just like our hair, which was thoroughly -smashed by the rain) Pun count: Too many to count

Community spirit: 11/10 would drizzle again 🌈

Keep being legendary, team! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today three GG-ers were very much needed at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank to assist the core team in delivery the service. The other two GG-ers assisted in setting up the session. Great teamwork makes the dream work!

Thank you very much for your support at Dulwich parkrun on 2026-01-31. Parkrun events rely on the considerable contribution that you make and we are most grateful.

Five GG-ers from across the boroughs banded together to set up the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank ready for its customers. This is a fantastic project which supports 75-90 service users a week, and it was all hands on deck to get things ready this morning.

Tasks included carrying crates of food up from the store room, chopping cabbages, dividing bunches of bananas, decanting yoghurt into smaller tubs, weeding out the veg that was past its best, and creating eye-catching displays of the produce.

Today it was all about the bananas in preparation for Friday's foodbank session.

The prep for Friday was quite quick, mainly because the centre didn't receive many donations.
