5 GoodGymers joined forces tonight with 19 runners from Earlsdon Running Club this evening to deliver donations to Coventry Food Bank.

We met at Earlsdon Running Club HQ packed up with items from the list on the food bank website. We warmed up then set out on our 5k run.

We had arranged for Coventry food bank to meet us in a van in a central location so it was only a short run for us to carry our heavy load.

We met Dee, who works for CFB, at the van and unloaded the items which included tins, biscuits and tea bags. Once this was done we then continued our run back to base.

It was great to collaborate with another local running group for such a good cause and nice to run with a whole new bunch of people.

Thanks to everyone who made it out tonight in support of your local food bank. You are amazing!

Also a huge thanks to all the work that the food bank does, helping those in need.
