Denbies Wild Running
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Wild Running in Woking.
- Saturday, 28th of January 2023
- Led by James McCloud
James, Adam and Lauren drove over to Dorking to help out with the event.
There was a 2k race for children, and 10k and 10 mile races for adults.
Lots of people were running with their dogs and there was a great atmosphere.
While it was still light, Lauren and James went off to buy bananas and sweets while Adam got involved in setting everything up.
James helped with registering the participants to their foot pods while Adam and Lauren went off to take position at their marshal spots.
Eddie travelled separately to get there and helped with final setup preparations and a challenging marshal spot where the runners would end up passing him twice along the route.
James was sent at the last minute to marshal spot 2, to guide the runners to go up the hill, and then followed the last runner collecting all the signs and reflective ribbons along the way.
After a few hours we all met back near the start to grab coffee and teas before heading back to the car where Lauren produced the chocolate cakes she had bought for the squad.
It's fair to say that supporting this event was difficult and challenging but we were equal to the task.
It was great to get back home and relax in a hot bath afterwards.
