A Clean Getaway from the (food)Bank

It was brilliant to see Helen and Andy return to action with a smile and run a new route to Colchester Foodbank.

We passed a few pedestrians, motorists and truck drivers who probably had not seen a group of runners in matching t-shirts in that part of Colchester before! Along the way we stopped on a patch of grass to stretch and headed to Tollgate retail park to the huge foodbank.

The equipment was ready and we got to work sanitizing, sweeping and mopping making the foodbank shine and smell clean. It was a big physical effort to get the whole place done in time and not leave feeling we could have done more. Great job!

Our run back began with dynamic warm up of bum-flicks, side-steps and high-knees and we took a slightly greener route back to base.

Our talented PT Bryanne led a short stretch before we headed off home.

See you next month foodbank and remember to come along to Colchester Pride on Saturday and a fundraising event in the evening for Building Malawi.

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
