Clutching at Straws
11 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Oxford City Council and GoodGym in Oxford.
- Wednesday, 13th of March 2024

The brief: Plot a route around as many of the Oxford Monopoly board locations as you can in an hour.
The tasks: Take litterpickers and plog as you go, and see how many GoodGym posters you can put on display around the city.
The scoring system: 1 point for every monopoly board location you make it to, 1 point for every GoodGym Task related item you spot along the way, 5 points for every GoodGym poster you put up.
This game/task brought out some serious competitive streaks in our running and walking teams. Sneaky tactics were used, like dividing the group to reach more locations, sprinting to an extra monopoly board square with 3 minutes to go, and deploying the (ex) Lord Mayor as a GG Task related item. Fun and exercise was had, we raised awareness of GoodGym, picked up plenty of litter, and it was a quirky way to plot a walk/run route around town.
