It Was Gonna Happen Sooner or Crater
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the parkrun - Pitshanger junior parkrun in Ealing.
- Sunday, 21st of July 2024
- Led by Sevan
Steph had arrived early for this morning's Pitshanger Junior parkrun and done a quick recce of the course. He found the same thing as the official course checker, that there was a crater in the middle of the course.
Recent downpours combined with Greener Ealing trucks had carved out a couple of big grooves smack in the centre of the path. It wasn't quite large enough to lose a child in. Injuries were a worry though, which is why Steph, Kash, Jacquie and Sevan were deployed as marshals around the course to keep the runners safe and serve out a few high fives to power the kids on.
The GoodGymers and other volunteers were able to shepherd 74 runners around the course without injury. The only mishap that they saw was a runner discovering a hole to trip over while running on the grass off-path 🩼
Join us again next month at Pitshanger Junior parkrun to see if the crater has been filled in!
