12 GoodGymers ran 7k to Ebury Estate homeless project to make 200 delicious Jam sandwiches to be given out to Westminster’s homeless community.

A busy night in central London meant we were running the back streets to get down to Pimlico. Dodging through Oxford Street, Mayfair, Buckingham Palace and Victoria making great time in a solid running train as we ran South!

Getting to Ebury estate to lay out the the tables ready to roll with the sandwich production line! We had cutters, butterers, jamers, and baggers in a slick line of sandwich making perfection!!

Luckily with some of the bread still being a little cold the beautiful November weather system helped us out with a strong sprinkling of rain to soften the loafs!

With this perfectly timed intervention for some reason the production line sped up and the sandwich pile mounted super quick!

A final Push and all the bread to used, sandwiches piled high in the lodge and tables cleaned up and stacked away!

A speedy run back to base was all that was left to do and an awesome running performance was put on display!

Thank you all for coming along! Hope to see you next week for our Plog along the canal at Little Venice!
