This Saturday we're doing a parkrun takeover at Dulwich parkrun which means providing all the volunteer positions and some pacers! We're looking good for volunteers but could do with more friendly faces! FInd out more and sign up on the website here.
Tuesday 4th June is the big GoodGym x Team London run from City Hall. It's an amazing opportunity to get involved in a huge GoodGym event in conjunction with the Mayor's Office. FInd out more and sign up here.
Next week it's longer run to prep the shutters at a charity shop in Rotherhithe for painting the following week. It's 5km there and an option to get the overground back from Rotherhithe. Or you can meet us there! It's a brand new task, it'll be fab. Find out more and sign up here.

That's enough of the business

Last night 9 runners ran 2km to Nunhead Library to litter pick and weed the garden. After a briefing five of us started to warm up round the corner when we were joined by Conner, Jameson, Luke and Quinlan who'd come all the way down from a meeting in Kensington to come and join us.

We headed off to Nunhead Library to meet Nell who would show us into the back garden for more litter picking and weeding. Unfortunately she wasn't there but we cracked on anyway. Three full bags of rubbish later and we started to pull up some old weeds - why not make the place look ship shape!

An enormous welcome to Liv, Ellie, Charlotte, Luke, Jameson and Conner who all joined us for the first time today. The first of many good deeds!

Finished at Nunhead Library we went over to Nunhead Green for a game of heads, shoulders, knees and cone with burpees for forfeits. It got down to a pretty tense final. Excellent work everyone, some super reaction times! We then headed back to Peckham Rye where we stopped off for a round of Sally Squats to Flower by Moby. A favourite of Conroy at GoodGym Croydon's apparently - we're in good company!

An awesome first time for 6 new runners, I hope to see you again soon.

Great work team.
