17 brave Hackney GoodGymers ran 10k touching nearly every corner of the borough.

The cold was no match to a strong band of GoodGymers this evening unfortunately it was too much for Hackney Park Rangers!!

After a strong running start to the session where we powered out 4k to Clissold Park ready for action to continue to create the new running path around the perimeter of the park. We waited for our park Ranger, but ever a few shouts into the darkness didn’t work so we had to roll with plan B!

Splitting up into two groups we had the first pod run the way we came 4k back to base while the rest of the squad headed out to explore Hackney near and far on a 6k loop! The 6k loop felt a little like the running bus as we dropped runners off Home at various points on the run. Even time to drop into Core CIC to see the building we helped renovate look so good!

Rounding it out past the town Hall to click over the 10k and giving GoodGymer Joel his running distance PB!!

Sorry about the change of plan tonight but sometimes things happen!

Next week we are off to Abney Park, so sign up and come along!!

Smooth Running
