Tonight 7 cheerful runners took to the London streets, bridges and parks to help Spring Clean our local environment and get our hearts pumping!

We had an amazing effort cleaning up around London City with a few new faces and a couple of returning Goodgym runners! It was a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded people in our community!

We began our run at Bush House King's College, here we did a mini warm up, introductions and set the challenge of filling our bags before the end of the run. We ran along the lovely Thames river from Kings College collecting as much rubbish as we could before heading into Parliament Square Gardens to test our speed and have some friendly competition! We really got our heart rates up and had a good chance to get to know each other as we recovered from the race and got ready for the next leg of Spring Cleaning.

We then took to Westminster Bridge, really filling our bags whilst enjoying the beautiful sunset over the city! It really felt like a warm Spring evening.

On the way back we managed to pick up our speed along the South Bank and finished filling our bags just in time to make a quick trip back over the river via Waterloo Bridge.

Everyone felt proud of their efforts with the run and for doing our bit to keep our city beautiful and clean! It was truly a great Spring Clean with fantastic weather to match!
