Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
Harvey, Olivia and Sam met up with Amir from Living Bankside and Joseph Bonner, who co-organised this 5k fun run around London Bridge. The run started at 12:15 and took under 30 minutes to complete.
At the end, they were given the Yorkshire white rose medal from Jo Cox's mother and father. They were also treated to a leg massage to ease their calves.
This whole event was a part of the bigger Jo Cox Way, which saw 82 cyclists cycling from Yorkshire to London.
Some of us stayed to welcome in the cyclists as the ride took them 5 days to complete it in batches. The wholesome event celebrated the community spirit and raised money for The Jo Cox Foundation and More In Common.
We hope to get more runners involved next year and make it even bigger and better!
