Camino Ultra London, a remarkable grassroots endurance distance event company, returned to the Golden Fleece, Wanstead Flats for their 5th edition of the Epping Forest 50km race.

Goodgym have been wonderfully fortunate to see the race grow and grow over the years, and to have build a great tradition of volunteering at some of the most fun aid stations ever!

Area Activator Simon joined David, Darren, Paula and Carole for the early morning shift at race registration - bag drop assistance before the 50km started at 8am. The nerves and excitement were palpable at the start of a big day out! (Great to see Goodgymmer Olivia Waller ready to head out- wonderful running!).

About 7 miles away, up the green corridor, the rest of the Goodgym crew were busy setting up the legendary Butler's Retreat aid station before the lead runners of both the 25km and 50km distances came through. Despite the windy conditions, the team put up a solid marquee and tables full of water, treats, sports nutrition, homemade energy balls and loads of pickles for runners refueling on route. A wonderful party atmosphere created by the best volunteers - Thank You!
