Halfway to hooray: Cheering at the Reading half marathon
Sunday 23rd March
Written by Susmi Benny
We had the pleasure of cheering on the Reading half marathon runners, powered by pom-poms, tambourines and cow bells supplied by Sport in Mind.
We started the morning by meeting at Reading train station and then making our way to Forbury gardens where the Sport in Mind gazebo was based.
It was a cloudy day but fueled with the energy of the other supporters and some very sugary drinks, we had a blast and cheered on every single runner! It was great to see some new Goodgymers joining us too. Ganesh, Joshna and Sandra brought great energy to the mix and it was a lovely event to witness.
We ended the day by helping to pack up the gazebo and items before heading back in the afternoon.
Thanks again to Jenni, Chris, Ganesh, Joshna and Sandra for attending and see you all at the next one!
