An important role for GoodGym at today's Ealing Mile - chalking out directions around the course.
Then it rained.
Then it rained some more.
Now, the chalk wasn't washed away, but the need for directions changed to a need for warning of wet pavements and wet feet ahead.
Next, we marshalled around the course.
Then the sun came out.
But it was still wet.
The traditional role of marshals is to point runners in the right direction and offer encouragement. Today, we proferred warnings not to cut the corner too tight so as to avoid the muddy patch as the runners swept round the u-bend.
Then the sun came out.
Then it got quite nice, actually. See you next month, Ealing Mile@

Delivering inclusive community-focused running activities and related volunteering for people of all ages and abilities in Ealing
WE RUN EALING is the charitable arm of the award-winning Ealing Half Marathon. We deliver community-focused running initiatives, many of which are free and open to people of all abilities. Previously known as EHM Legacy, thanks to Ealing Half Marathon, we have done heaps of stuff over the last ten years to help get people moving in Ealing. We have had installed a new drinking fountain installed Lammas Park – popular with humans and dogs! During lockdown we arranged events to encourage Ealing residents to run or walk to dozens of local parks. More recently we have brought the Blended Trails trail-running concept to Ealing and launched Ealing’s first ever Food Bank Run, in partnership with GoodGym and parkrun.
