The last Wednesday of the month brought us back to Lakeside to help out with the marshaling of their 5k race. This was the 4/5 of the series. Jen, Katie and Jo met early and headed out for a 1.4 mile run around the lake. Once finished and suitably warm we met up with Judy, Val and Vicki.

Like clockwork, we donned our Goodgym High Viz, collected the race numbers and headed to our alloted positions ready for the runners arriving.

Judy, Jen, Katie and Val handed out the numbers to those who had not yet competed in the race series. Instructions were also given to those who had misplaced their numbers to head inside to the 'table of shame' and retrieve a replacement. Vicki and Jo greeted runners who were arriving and directing them to number collection or race entry. Once the race was underway, Judy and Val managed the finishing funnel to ensure runners kept in order when they crossed the line. Katie was primary number checker and Jo & Vicki were backup nuber checkers.

Another great race this evening albeit fewer runners than the last one. We're back there on 24th Aug for the final race of the series. Fancy joining us? Sign up here
