Report written by Jo G
Our final 5 km parkrun effort for the month saw an octet of GoodGymmers helping out at Princes parkrun. We were also joined by a number of volunteers from the Liverpool branch of 5k Your Way, who were celebrating their first anniversary (with lots of cake!) 5k Your Way is a country-wide community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and those working in cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5k Your Way parkrun event on the last Saturday of every month. See https://5kyourway.org/ for more details. We also took advantage of Princes parkrun's new acquisitions of a photo frame and 'Keep quiet' signs (needed more by some than others... I am not naming names...!)
Anyway, back to the GoodGym gang, who ably scanned barcodes, tailwalked and funnel-managed to support 625 runners, joggers and walkers to complete the 5km course (only 7 fewer than last week's all time record attendance!) A special shout out to Jon Sheppard, who we hadn't seen for a little while but were mighty happy to welcome to volunteer today!
