Two Goodgymers helped Coventry youngsters get their years off to a running start with the first War Memorial Junior Parkrun of 2024. It was a bright and early start helping with pre-event set-up from 8:10am. Nigel was determined to test his memory with where all the signs and cones go around the course having done pre-event set-up a few times before. One of the other regular volunteers was happy to oblige by telling him "yes" or "no" for whether he had remembered correctly or not!
It was then a quick hello to the other volunteers before heading to our posts for the second task of the day. Katherine was marshalling and Nigel was trying out timekeeping for the first time. Both tasks were rather tricky in the cold weather with our hands getting particularly cold by the end of the run, but it was worth it to see the 94 kids that took part today, with the first over the line doing so in a fantastic 7 minutes!
Looking forward to warmer months when volunteering is not such a challenge to keep your hands warm!!
