Today we had the chance to support the Bristol VI runners with their 10K event for their running guides at Pomphrey hill. The guides had to do 6 laps of the park including a mega muddy steep hill and Goodgym were there to cheer them along the way!

Mel had the fun job of starting each of the runners at their staggered start times and after a few laps all of them started to merge meaning they finished together which was lovely to see. We even had Goodgym representation as Tom Hill was racing and sporting an outfit that was a bit bananas..

It was great to return to their event for the second year and we look forward to it being an annual outing for Goodgym. Thanks to all the marshals and a HUGE thank you to Mel who took charge today as I was feeling unwell.

Today 9 GoodGymmers headed to Pomphrey hill (some on foot and some on wheels) to marshal a VI Runners' guides' 10K race which saw them take on 6 gruelling laps of the park. The race was organised by Tracy one of the VI runners who wanted to give something back to their amazing guides 🙂

We were briefed by Tim and Mel and given our marshalling positions and before long the first runner came speeding through. The start times were staggered meaning all of the runners were doing their 6th lap together and GoodGym made sure they were all well encouraged along the way..

After the race finished, the winner was awarded a huge trophy and our Mel got a bottle of wine for her excellent finish time recording. We were all given some delicious pastries and Quality Street as a thanks before we headed on our merry way.

Big thanks to Sal for organising this. We had a fantastic time!
