We had another great visit to Simon at Thorlands this week. It was lovely to have Laura join us once again, being back in London for only a short time!

After our short run from Old Spike Café, the group split up with Sam, Laura and Paulin getting stuck into moving leaf mould from the compost bin to the main garden. The rest of the team weeded, cleared an area and shifted a large planter into its new spot.

With 45 minutes of solid work done, we wrapped up and ran back to Peckham – another evening of good running and good deeds!

Can't believe it's been 3 years! And on this day, we managed to break another attendance record of 187 finishers after smashing the previous record earlier in the summer (182 finishers).

After marshalling and cheering on the kids, we celebrated with cake and apples (the healthy option).

We kicked things off at Old Spike and somehow managed to dodge the heavy rain as we made our way over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We had three newbies with us—Roland, Kamil, and Olga—great to have them along for their first Southwark Group Run!

Ian met us at the club and set us up with some weeding and patching up the pitches with seed. Once the hard work was done, we got our reward: a game of touch rugby. Ian then fueled us up with winegums before our run back.

After that, it was back to Old Spike and straight on to Brick Brewery for a well-earned drink and a good catch-up.
