A warm sunny Wednesday brought us back to Lakeside to help City of Portsmouth AC with the 3rd of their 5k races.

Jen, Katie, India and Rachel met up early and headed out for a run around the lake. Once back we all met up and donned our Goodgym Hi Viz. As this is the 3rd race of the year that we've assisted with, we're all used to the tasks and jobs that need to be done.

Vicki and Jo stayed near the main shopping area and assisted anyone who needed to know their number, registering on the evening, or general enquiries.

Aoife, Mel, India, Rachel, Laura, Jen and Katie were distributing the numbers to the runners who were registered. Jen went over and above the duty of watching some of the bags for the runners and ended up carrying both of these, one on her back and the other on her front. Luggage retrieval and collection was certainly more efficient in comparison to some airports.

Once the race was underway, we formed marshal positions, funnel management and number checkers.

It was also the last Group Run (for now) for Rachel as she will be jetting to the other side of the world next week to live in Australia. Good luck Rachel, we will all miss you.

We will be back at Lakeside next month for race 4. Sign up here
