19 GoodGym Superstars donated 300 cereal bars then ran 8k to give them to Westminsters homeless community.

Welcoming along a bumper group for this great Group Run! Welcoming of first timers to Both GoodGym and Westminster to the running party!!

First the session couldn’t happen without your amazing generosity to bring along your cereal bar donations!! A special mention to Oliva and Rhys who brought along over 100 bars, very much appreciated!!

Trying to build on our knowledge base we kept the same route as last month with plenty of options to nip off to find those in need of a little assistance. Great to see us seeking out many people who would otherwise be missed from the help that is on offer to Westminsters homeless community.

We were in constant motion covering a lot of group both running and walking over 90 action packed minutes. From a few Strava readings at the end the total distance covered was over 10k!!

It was not always easy to find people but with our super stamina we just kept moving until we did! Hopefully by the time everyone gets home over 300 bars will have found there way to a homeless person.

Running through Oxford Street, Piccadilly, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Charring Cross, Westminster, Victoria and Green Park we covered a huge area superbly!!

Sorry for the lack of pictures but who knew counting to 19 would be so difficult!!

A heads up for next month that we will be giving away Hot Cross buns to Westminsters Homeless!! If you are available and would like to donate some buns please come along on March 21st!!

Thanks for being so great tonight, have a great week!

Smooth Running

p.s Thanks Annabella for the extra pictures!!
