Let the Winds Blow High, Let the Winds Blow Low, off to parkrun in our trainers we go!
5 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the Newcastle Junior parkrun in Newcastle.
- Sunday, 27th of January 2019
- Led by Carol Anne Mclachlan
(Thanks Carol-Anne for the pun!!)
We had an absolutely brilliant time helping out at Junior parkrun in the Town Moor on Sunday morning.
Junior parkrun is great as it takes place on a Sunday, and it is 2km in length which encourages children and their parents to enjoy running togther.
There were a variety of volunteer roles to choose from. Dan was one of the Barcode Scanners at the finish, Louise was handing out finish tokens, Carol Anne and Rachel were marshals (and definitely the loudest with their cheering musical instruments!) and Charlotte was tail walker (standard and definitely a favourite position on any run)
The volunteer co-ordinator was really welcoming, friendly and helpful, explaining all our roles, what we needed to do and showing us where we needed to be.
It was a great success, really enjoyable, and we will be back again soon!
