A lovely morning for a parkrun and a reminder about everything that is so good about parkrun. Karen was Run Director today, with added duties of xourse check, number checker, and results processor; Nigel was on course set up, timekeeper and close down, and Kat was on barcode scanning while her son did his first Duke of Edinburgh volunteering. Lots of juniors volunteered today, with parkrun a great easy way to get involved in volunteering.
We saw celebrations of amazing running and volunteering milestones today, and it was lovely to see Mark and Marjo back at parkrun. The parkrun community is so supportive and there's no doubt that many friendships have been made and physical and mental health benefits felt.

Nicola, Nigel and Karen joined the Crewe parkrun team today as volunteer coordinator and timekeepers. Such a lovely way to start the weekend! Our roles in the parkrun team meant that 391 people were physically active and were part of a lovely supportive community, all superbly led by the new Run Director on the team, Charlie.

Lots of roles carried out by the GoodGym team at parkrun this week! 389 prople took part, with over 50 walking as part of parkrun's "Let's Walk" campaign.
Nicola was the ever warm and welcoming Volunteer Coordinator; Karen was run director and did course check, set up and close down, results processor and communications; Nigel did course set up and close down as well was timekeeping; and Emily and Kat did the really satisfying job of sorting the tokens ready for next week - although sorting them into reverse order blew Kat's mind!
Great job everyone!

We were joined by a very special guest as part of the GoodGym / parkrun team this week - Stanley the very cute daschund! Stanley had just returned from his holiday in Norfolk where he'd been enjoying walks on the beach, seeing the seals, long walks, coffees and ice cream - but it was just as lovely for him to be in our favourite park!
Stanley joined Nicola (run director, event set up, course check, and results processor), Karen (timekeeper, volunteer coordinator and communications person), Mark (parkwalker), and Nigel (tailwalker and event close down) . 359 people walked and ran at parkrun this week, made possible by the amazing team of volunteers.

So it was a little chilly but the sun was out welcoming everyone to Queens Park in Crewe for this mornings Parkrun. I started the day by picking up a fellow marshal who is in her 80s but has recently broken her wrist and couldn’t drive. 360 people turned up and ran, walked, chatted, skipped and managed to get around the 5k course. 62 people managed to get a personal best today. Now this may be because of hard training, enjoying the good weather or Marks dodgy time keeping. There were also 19 first timers which is brilliant and we hope they enjoyed the experience and stay return at this or one of the other amazing parkruns out there.
Unfortunately Mark forgot to take any pictures so he is sharing a picture of his faithful furry friend Luna.

3 GoodGymmers turned out on a sunny but still slightly chilly morning to support Crewe parkrun. This week was a relaunch of "parkwalk" to highlight to people that parkrun is for all paces, and encouraging walking as a way being healthy. It also involved a fight with parkwalk bunting - that wont see the light of day again!
Karen, Nicola and Nigel carried out a wide range of roles today including course check, course set up, volunteer coordinator, run director, tailwalker, course close down, results processor and communications. A brilliant and much valued effort, all before 10am on a Saturday morning!
