GGRunch took on a new focus this week with the 2018 GG Olympics in effect, not since January have we seen this level of "how do we rise to the challenge?".

Wishing to be untethered by the rigid structure of the streets of Sheffield for our Strava Art, we decided to head for the hills and create some of our own on a disused bit of land near the station. With markers, string, flour and stones along with an excellent group of organisers we quickly marked out our route and set off circling our very own Olympic Rings in what can only be described as a jogging conga! 1km later and the differences in running watches became clear, some had to keep going for a while and some had created what can only be described as a lost Jackson Pollock.

Ideas were planted of other Strava Art that could be produced and a few set about their own challenge...

Meanwhile we had some other Sheffielders out tackling the other challenges and we can't wait to see those results!
