4 Goodgym marshals (Emily, Alison, Giulia and Simon) answered a last minute call out for volunteers at Caledonian Park junior parkrun this morning. This 2km free weekly time trial is always in need of extra hands for course marshalling, time keeping, barcode scanning and tail walking duties, so that 4-14 year old kids from the local area can experience the opportunity to run independently and safely.

Despite some heavy rain and an emergency call to The Tolpuddle Café (there were signs of a break-in, and smashed glass surrounding the entrance), cheering and supporting our runners on a Sunday morning proved to be the best start for the day. Many of our crew made their way over to the Kentish Town Apple Festival afterwards, while AA Simon chose to enjoy some warm coffee and cake instead!

We will be back again next week for a spooky edition! Sign up here to get involved:
