Three GoodGymers headed down to their familiar friend Cardiff junior parkrun on a sunny Sunday morning to help out.

Michael was barcode scanning, Fiona was marshalling at playground, and Flo was run director.

Well done to the 179 finishers who took part in parkrun!

Here are some fun numbers for you.

Yesterday was Cardiff junior parkrun's 444th event.

Out of those 179 parkrunners, 31 had visited for the first time, and 46 parkrunners got a new personal best time.

Cardiff junior parkrun also gave out 5 milestone wristbands:

1 x Half Marathon Wristband - 11 junior parkruns, 3 x Marathon Wristbands - 21 junior parkruns, and 1 x 100 wristband for the same amount of parkruns.

All of this was made possible by the 31 volunteers. Nearly 10% of that was just GoodGym members. 👏👏👏

What a celebration, goodgym CYMRU, we hit our EIGHT anniversary. Starting back on May 23rd, 2017, running to a community garden space, and here we after 8 years running to one of our regular community growing spaces Global Gardens.

We are very proud of how many community green spaces we have helped over those 8 years, and hope to continue the fight to keep Cardiff as green as possible.

Our groups tonight had cyclists, walkers and runners all making their way to Global Gardens. It was a great run through the park, a great way to spend our celebration run before the weather changes. Michael had both his goodgym and global gardens hat on tonight, as he got everyone into the site and ready to volunteer. Although the weather was due to change, there was still plenty of watering to do. The polytunnel needed a good soaking, as did plenty of potted new plants that were dotted around. We also had a second group tooled up and ready to get back to the removal of brambles and bindweed, people on wheelbarrow duty to run the weeds back and forth to the designated compost pile.

We had some returns tonight as we welcomed back Benjamin and Lucy, with the lovely baby Eliza and goodgym bunny. (is this a new mascot?)

After 30 minutes of volunteering (and baby holding), we were done and it was time for our group photos. We made our plans for afterwards to continue the celebrations with a few drinks and some food, and a catch up with each other.
