800 flyers and Cow-nting!

A team of GoodGym volunteers ran around Bear Flat in Bath to deliver flyers for Send a Cow. We ran over 5km in total and went up and down lots of hills! It was rewarding to spread the message of a great charity and also it was fantastic training for us.

Welcome, Ben and Frankie!

We had two new runners meet us at the Leisure Centre. We welcomed Ben for his ever first run with GoodGym and we also welcomed Frankie who usually runs in London. Thanks to both of you for coming along and getting involved. We hope you can come and help us out again soon!

Send a Cow are a charity that do lots of development work in Africa. They have been working with communities there for over 30 years. Last night we delivered flyers advertising their charity places in the 2020 Bath Half. This is a great event that attracts thousands of people to our great city every year. To say thanks, the Send a Cow team have offered us a GoodGym discount. If you are interested then message me!

We split into two groups for this task. Emily lead a group around Holloway and the lower parts of Bear Flat. I took a group up towards the entrance of Entry Hill and then we worked our way back down towards The Bear along the residential roads.

There were some excitable dogs in some of the houses but fortunately no one suffered the fate of the unfortunate post person in cartoons ! We also managed to handout some leaflets (and promote running with GoodGym!) to residents on their way home who were interested. Good marketing effort, runners!

Well done!

Overall we delivered over 700 flyers! That's a fantastic achievement for just over an hour of work! It was a hilly run and I know there were some heavy legs at the end of the evening, so well done for sticking at it.

Thanks!

Thanks to the team at Send a Cow for a great task and thanks to Emily for leading half of the group last night. Also, thanks to Emily for the pun this week.
