Tonight 3 runners took to the streets of Teddington in Richmond Upon Thames to tackle some rubbish.

Samia headed out first, lifting the street of litter before Jane and Jenna took on the next shift after dark.

However, we soon discovered that like much of the Richmond Borough Teddington is well kept so this was to be a pretty speedy plog where crisp packets seemed to be the main attraction!

Samia paid homage to fellow runner Mo Farah as she tackled the High Street, while Jenna and Jane headed to the river and onto the train station to see if the Friday night traffic had washed up any debris.

Although not much was found, it still felt as though we were doing our bit for the local community and was a welcomed distraction from #redjanuary.
