Hackney Report written by Sooz
There were almost more volunteers than runners at junior parkrun this morning thanks to last night's storm putting a dampener on festivities!
Simon brought with him an entire crew of taskers to support a speedy group of sporting superstars as they pelted around the course at London Fields, navigating the Hackney Carnival floats and stands.
One of our quickest ever parkruns, despite the wet ground underfoot, and all was wrapped up within 45 minutes, with a bunch of big smiles from all the children as they crossed the finish line.

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
On Tuesday evening, Area Activator Simon was joined by an awesome team of 13 Goodgym runners (including first timers Aimee, Julia and Joao) at the awesome ON Running Store, Spitalfields to continue our quest to visit all the Islington Parks in 2024!
Together, we ran 5.2 miles from the store, parallel to Old Street and Clerkenwell and onwards to Farringdon (amazingly all part of Islington, despite being in Central London), and visited the following parks:
Finsbury Square (Moorgate)
Bunhill Fields Burial Gardens
Quaker Gardens
St Luke's Churchyard
St Luke's Gardens
Radnor Gardens (by the old Ironmonger Row baths)
Lever Street Gardens
King's Square Gardens
Northampton Square Gardens
Spa Fields
St James Church Gardens
and
St John's Gardens in Farringdon
Well done everyone! Wonderful to be involved with the urban exploring challenge. More opportunities will be listed soon!
