This Sunday, Peter and Cecilia from GoodGym joined the energetic crew of Eltham Junior Parkrun volunteers to support a fantastic field of 86 mini-milers taking on their weekly 2k challenge.

The weather may have been a bit on the brrr-isk side, but the sun was shining and spirits were high – a perfect combo for cheering, clapping, and chasing away any sleepy Sunday blues.

Peter took up his post as a marshal with moxie, while Cecilia brought up the rear as a top-notch tailwalker, ensuring no young runner was left behind – because at Junior Parkrun, everyone’s a front-runner in their own story.

We saw kids of all speeds and sizes giving it a go – some zipped round the two laps like lightning bolts, while others decided to park it after one. And that’s totally fine – every journey starts with a single (little) step.

What really warmed our GoodGym hearts was the family spirit – so many parents were running, walking, and cheering alongside their kids. It’s true what they say: the family that runs together, puns together (okay, made that one up, lol).

It was our pleasure to help out in our own small way, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. Until then – keep running, keep smiling, and never forget to lap up the fun! Cecilia 🍀
