Eastney juniors had an Olympic themed warm up with a Lillian tornado finish to get them ready for their 2km run. Enthusiasts all!

Title is nothing to do with junior parkrun, but thank you to John and Vicki for passing on your old strimmer to us! Reusing and recycling is definitely the GoodGym way!

Lorna expanded her gate marshaling range as far as Gate 3, whilst John watched over the suspicious changing rooms and Vicki took up her favourite spot at the Magic Roundabout. A slightly hungover Dave managed to keep up with his timekeeping duties.

Thanks again, you lovely GoodGymers, you make being an RD so much easier!

Well done to our super team of stamp collectors, with a special shout out to Wilson and their work colleagues for an absolutely stonking effort.

I'll list a repeat task for October, so do keep collecting!

Thanks to Lorna, Nia and Dave for helping fill the volunteer roster for my RD Shift today. The other Run Directors are always jealous of the GoodGym support!

Lorna and Nia took on marshalling duties, whilst Dave helped out at the end with barcode scanning. We celebrated seven first-timers to Eastney and eight new PBs in our field of 47 runners so an epic morning!

Thanks for helping out, and if anyone wants to come along next week I am RD again!

Sam & Lorna headed to the University of Portsmouth school or Marine Biology to help prepare oysters as part of the Solent Seascape Project. Volunteering opportunities run all week so give us a shout if you want to find out more!
