We had 5 goodgymmers out supporting junior parkrun today alongside a local scout, cub and beaver takeover, and a musical event!

We had rain but it was no pain at abbeypark we had Martin at watermead we had Jeanette and Mel and over at Braunstone we had Amanda and Jimmy everyone making the world a better place ❤️

12 fantastic GoodGymmers came out to support the Rotary Club of the Wreake Valley host their annual fundraiser the Watermead Challenge, 5 mile or 3 mile race around the lake quite a few times.

A beautiful evening to be running, the atmosphere was buzzing, so many Googymmers offering their help here's all their roles-

Dave, Mel and Daniel race directors very important jobs and very weldone. Welcome back Daniel long time Goodgymmer hope to see you at Junior parkrun soon.

Mel and Lorna taking care of any last minute sign ups, Mel also took some fantastic pics at every opportunity.

Jimmy, Ashley, Jen and Katy handing out race numbers very efficiently.

Martin and Sheila handing out their running club's numbers.

Martin and Jimmy then went on to marshall and cheer on all the runners. Jimmy had also cycled from home, a long way.

Nick and Stu were on car park duty, then Nick went on to manage the funnel at the finish and Stu gave his support during the race.

David our newest sign up came along running 8k from home, after checking all the volunteer roles were taken for during the race David took on a last minute race place. Weldone hope to see you on one of our group runs soon.

Jen, Ashley, myself and Katy all ran the 5 mile race and Mel tail walked the 3 mile supporting another runner.

Wow I haven't written a write-up with so many GoodGymmers all doing so many good things, really enjoyable evening, amazing running efforts keep up the great work and doing good at the same time, weldone team.

A lovely morning out volunteering at Aylestone junior parkrun before we headed for a run or walk along the river to King's Lock Tea Rooms for a drink and a bite to eat!
