8 AWESOME goodgymers came out last night to help INCREDIBLE IREN who consistently does an amazing job keeping her area of the city clean and tidy.

It was fantastic to welcome Ellie and Yvette who have both recently moved from other areas to the mighty Sheffield. Neither are new to GG having volunteered in other cities. Hope you both enjoyed it and will be back for more soon!

The Sun was shining and the weather was sweet yea! We moved our running feet up, up and away all the way to the Gleadless Valley via the Co-Op for Michelle to drop of some plastic recycling. The green theme continued with litter picking and brushing to tidy up a messy and glass ridden section of walking and cycling path that is used a lot as a link to/from the Gleadless Valley amenities from surrounding housing areas. We were thanked by path users as we filled up 11 bags and then tied them up and took them to the nearest AMEY bin for collection.

On route back we went via some of Celine’s old haunts and she pointed out her old flat and some of he numerous community planting endeavours she had lead on whilst living in the area. What an absolute ⭐️!

On return to base we stretched off and some grabbed an alfresco drink and chatted of Shindigs, fixing bikes and checking of passports!

Until next time, happy running :)
