Small park BIG RUN - lots of leafleting
13 GoodGymers made their way 10.5km to help the Small Park, BIG RUN in Sheffield.
- Monday, 22nd of April 2019
- Led by Sam Needham
13 GoodGymmers ran to Meersbrook Park to help the guys from Small park BIG RUN distribute flyers in the local area. The 24 hour running event is in mid June and raises funds for education and play projects in Gaza.
It was a warm evening, so just running there was hard work. On arrival, we split into 4 teams and targeted different areas around the park.
After the volunteering bit, we ran a loop of the course, which goes up THAT Meersbrook Park hill (it's very steep even by Sheffield standards, but offers fantastic views over the city from the top).
With some optional sprints on the way back, we then headed back to base for some stretches - and even managed a bit of plogging at the end. The Bank Holiday effect meant there was even more litter about than usual.
GoodGym will be entering a 24 hour team (we hope) for Small Park BIG RUN, as well as volunteering in other roles over the event weekend.
Until next time - Happy Running!

I love to be outside. I'm at my happiest skimming stones on a beach, or running somewhere beautiful.
