Four fantastic GoodGymmers helped 23 youngsters complete their junior parkrun this morning!

A warm welcome back to Marek, alongside seasoned regulars Nick, Rue and Sooz.

Rue and Marek took on the dream team timekeeper and finish tokens, while Nick handled his usual turning point position with finesse and Sooz stepped up to tailwalker.

There were two incredible milestones today: 100 Parkruns for Julia and Edith!

All packed up by 9:30 and our Sundays were off to a wholesome start.

A brilliant GoodGym team as always. Join us next week?

On this wet Sunday, just over 20 junior park runners found their way around the 2k course in London fields.

Lower attendance than normal due to weather but there were some solid performances.

Unfortunately the Good Gym team was new to leading an event and forgot to take a picture. As a picture is required, one from the event posting was used (which was a day with buffet weather).

A great turn out today to help clear the leaves at National Trust - Sutton House and Breaker's Yard! Welcome new Goodgymer Alex !

Once we were given a tour and shown the tools we got to work clearing the paths running through the garden whilst making sure not to disturb the natural habitats. We also cleared the front of the house and inner courtyard, where after we enjoyed some well deserved refreshments and had a catch up.

Well done all!

9 Goodgymers turned up on this Saturday morning at Springfield Park to help finish painting a shelter. Some of us met for our group run outside Brunswick Bakehouse and did a nice 3k scenic run through Hackney Downs Park, Millfields Park and then along the Lea Valley. Welcome Charlotte for her first GoodGym Session!

After we got suited up in our boiler suits looking like Ghostbusters, we then painted the Shelter, after no time it was looking as good as new! Great job everyone! We will we back to help Springfield Park create habitat environments.

Come along to our next group run on Thursday to help move some couches for the older and disabled patients at St Leonard's Hospital. Or next Saturday we are back to help out at The Robin Hood Community Garden.

Four GoodGymers joined together this Saturday morning for a group run to help out Homerton Adventure Playground.

We did a quick warm up and then set off from outside Brunswick Bakehouse for a social 2k run to Homerton Adventure Playground.

Two tasks were set before us and we split up into two small teams to divide and conquer. Jack and Suze tackled a heavily weeded area along the edge of the playground (which was so overgrown it was covering some artwork).

Marek and myself got rid of weeds and turned over a vegetable patch, unearthing some potatoes along the way which we collected.

We all joined at the end to help clear some final weeds before our potato-holding group photo and run back to Hackney Downs.

Well done all! The Adventure Playground contact was impressed with what a difference we made, and we shall be back for future tasks.
