An intrepid group of GoodGymers headed out on a cool spring evening to give a bit of TLC to the secluded and tranquil Chingford Memorial Park.

Teamwork started at the base as we had a quick huddle to decide on the best route to leave the district of Walthamstow and head out to neighbouring Chingford. Some great running and street knowledge on show from the team and the trip through the smart Lloyd Park was a highlight.

After completing our first 3.5 km, we arrived at our destination, and the team wasted no time in getting stuck in filling up bag after bag with the unsightly detritus that was blotting the otherwise picturesque landscape in the park.

With no time to lose after the task, the heroes of Chingford Memorial Park downed tools and headed off into the sunset for another 3.5 km run back to base and a rapid cooldown routine to cap off a fine evening of running, plogging and generally being fantastic.

Thank you to everyone who came along, you guys rock!
