12 Hackney GoodGymers ran 4K to help Hollybush gardens plant flowers with 10 raised boxed in the Estates urban garden.

A band of very merry GoodGymers including 2 epic Yorkshire Marathoners set off this evening for a little adventure to South South Hackney!!

With a brilliant safety Briefing from marathero Ros and social update from soon to be Abney Trustee Eva we set off down South!

Running down to Hollybush as a group with plenty of chat (apart from me) we met Margaret and Michael who were ready for us.

This week we were working on an ingenious inside/outside urban garden of 10 raised beds inside the corridor of the estate bringing some colour and growth to concrete around the beds.

Splitting into pairs we designed amazing flower patterns to make each bed stand out and look amazing!!

We worked with precision and speed and had the task done in no time!!

A quick visit to the gnome heaven to see our handy work from last month and we were away!

With a splinter group tackling a longer 3k loop back to base we all made in back safe and sound with a fun evening complete.

Remember if you fancy running Brighton Marathon (no Ballot or charity place needed) you need to register you interest by Friday!! With places going on sale on Monday!!

The next Social which is a Hackney/Tower Hamlets collaboration on Thursday the 8th!!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
