14 GoodGymers spread some Halloween love by giving away 500 Treats in Westminster while running 9k!!

Great to have you along on a Westminster gold standard task, only made possible with your amazing generosity and running graft!!

Individually packed treat bags, socks, sweets, chocolate, cakes, Vegan snacks and even some dog goodies were all brought along by you amazing lot!! Thank you so much!!

After a quick treat sort out in the New Balance store we were primed and ready for a whole lot of distance to be covered.

Lots of happy people on the streets this evening and was great to put a few smiles on the faces of Westminster’s homeless community!
Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Charring Cross, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Cathedral, Victoria, Green Park and finally Mayfair created a mammoth running pathing as we weaved main roads, back streets, side ally, Church entrances to find as many of Westminster’s homeless community particularly trying to access the more isolated people.

Hard to write about such a simple task that did so much good, you guys brightened up a lot of evenings, top effort!!

Thanks to Danny for telling us about the Fulham 10k volunteering squad!! If you want to get involved here are the details.

The GoodGym Christmas party is fast approaching on the 1st of December!! Click here for all the details.

See you all next week for some Christmas decoration fun with Open Age!!

Smooth Running
