To the litter end…

As the amazing Cardiff Parkrun team were packing up, GoodGym arrived to sweep the Taff Trail.
Whilst making plans for a cheer station at tomorrow’s Cardiff Half Marathon, we gathered any lingering litter. Fortunately the paths were fairly litter free but one bag later, our task was complete. Time for coffee and breakfast to refuel!
Bear-ly wet despite the weather warnings!

Two GoodGymers went to volunteer at our local Parkrun at Blackweir this morning - which happened to be it's 12th year anniversary! Marie took on the role as marshal over at the 800m mark and Mali made sure no one was left behind with the role of Tail Walker.
Despite the weather warnings of storm Dennis an amazing 685 park-runners turned up to run the course - amongst the crowds was Derek the weatherman himself and a running Teddy Bear! Marie got the chance to catch up with the man behind the costume and found out that he was testing it out in preparation for the London Marathon in April!
And last but not least... was great to cheer on the familiar faces of Goodgym runners who also made it to parkrun this morning - awesome job!
Happy Saturday!
Weir all having fun volunteering @ Parkrun!

Not quite a GoodGym takeover but 12 GoodGymmers turned out to support our local Parkrun at Blackweir this morning.
Arriving from all corners of Cardiff, we gathered at the meeting point to collect our high-viz and then headed off to our designated areas. Some of us marshalled at the "big tree", some of us at the "crossroads" and some of us were simply "halfway point of the playing fields." We bellowed and clapped the runners of Cardiff around the course, making sure they were sticking to the right and aware of the various hazards (notably the super speedy runners already on the return leg and the bikers who we share the path with). Others had important tasks at the start/finish line - funneling, bar code scanning and packing up.
An amazing 954 runners had made it around the Blackweir course!
Once the tail walkers had gone past, we headed back to the start/end for a well deserved coffee before our next task of bird spotting for the RSPB Bird Watch.
A great start to Cardiff and Vale's SuperSaturday!
