Saturday morning at 9am is Parkrun, but it is also Ealing Climate week. 4 Goodgymers made their way to Parkrun but their usual attire but also their bags loaded with secret stuff which you will find out soon. This week is was Southall Park run number 184 and 112 received a barcode at the end of the 5km. The 1st runner came in at 18min13!!! Great atmosphere and Goodgym Ealing joined forces to make this atmosphere. Harveyran 5km and then was helping at the bar code scanning. Kash was also on barcode scanning today. Sevan had the delicate role of timekeeping. While Steph Ducat was on the course marshalling at point 2 which has 2 areas to look at as loop around the park. Steph Ducat was joined by some new undercover Goodgymers ....the squirrels!! Secret squirrels doing good. They bribed to get some food from Steph Ducat, but were only to stay and cheer at his corner which they did...in fact just stood there and played!! After the last person finished the team regrouped and jogged with their secret items to the wonderful Open Southall with other parkrunners, volunteers and We Run Ealing. The Squirrels decided not to come and stayed in the park. The secret items are not the squirrels but old or unwanted running kit as part of Ealing Climate Week.

A double header for the GoodGym Ealing team today. After helping out at Southall parkrun, we gathered with other parkrunners/volunteers/We Run Ealing and headed down to Parkside Yards Green Quarter. Our team had collect unwanted running kit to donate to the wonderful Open Southall creative hub as part of Ealing Climate Week. Our old kit will be turned into twine and re-purposed as rugs and mats for local people.

And parkrunners get 20% discount on coffee at Southall Coffee House - that's what they call a win-win!
