21CF Impact Week - Community Gardening

28 Fox runners tackled a monster 9k run to help a community garden in Ladbroke Grove as part of 21CF Impact week!

The Sun was our and smiles were all about the wonderful Fox runners as they tackled challenging 9k run along West London’s streets.

With everyone focused on the tasks ahead we warmed up with a dynamic mob street dynamic stretch and muscle activation before weaving our way North along the quieter back streets to Ladbroke Grove.

Everybody working hard and enjoying the chance for a sunshine filled adventure, making steady progress to the community Garden.

Meeting Lisa and Martin who oversee around 70 community gardens in the borough. We had plenty to do!! A very keep and dedicated group set to work on constructing a mini shed/lock box to house the tools and equipment needed to maintain the garden up to the high standards we left it in. Lots of team work and careful instruction reading/following was the order of the day. Piece by piece, screw by screw the shed cane to life and will be a vital Piece of getting the community garden to thieve in the coming months!!

The rest of the Crew were hard at work! Filling a van full of heavy duty rubbish including BBQ’s, lumps of wood and chunks of metal frame. Clearing the patio path of all weeds and grass that was poking through. Cutting back all the overgrown shrubs and in clearing all the flower beds!!

With the garden looking stunning after 35 minutes of non stop action we began the run back with a Spring in our steps!! Picking up the pace at the front it was great to see everyone dig in to complete a really strong 2 hours of physical activity!!

Hope you enjoyed the session and go well in the rest of impact week.

Smooth Running
