18 GoodGym Superstars ran 6k to give 300 pieces of fruit to Westminsters homeless community.

On a chilly January evening we welcomed a bumper group to the party!! Great to have our new runners along for the run!

Sorting out our various carrying techniques before we started we loaded up with all the fruit brought along by our amazing runners!!

Loaded up 300 pieces of fruit Strong we smoothly glided around some of Central London’s busiest roads seeking out those in need of a helping hand this evening.

Running through Carnaby Street, Piccadilly, Soho, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and taking stock in Charring Cross. Expert fruit delivery and nice to have a quick chat we were able to pump up a lot of people’s Vitamin C and Potassium levels!!

With the feel good factor in full effect and the roads a little less crowded we powered our way down to Big Ben and the Victoria Station to give out the last of our stores.

Powering back up to Oxford Street lead by Francis to get back to base as the bells run 8 rounding off a quality GoodGym Evening!!

Hope you all had as much fun as me and sure you are over counting up to 18 but thank you all for coming out and making a major impact on so many peoples evenings.

Thank you for bringing along all the fruit it made the evening!!

Looking forward to February’s food Running session already!! Remember if you have any ideas for what to take around next time give me a shout or put it to the group 2 weeks out when we will make our final decision!!

Hope to see you next week when we visit St Andrews Youth Club the oldest in the world with a 2.5k ran each way in store.

Have a great week

Smooth Running
