Another month and last month of 2025 and the litter is still here and will probably be here in 2026, but this does not stop Goodgymers litter picking in their neighborhood or in the other areas they run, walk or cycle to or through. When Goodgymers are tourists in other Good gym areas, they take the opportunity to bring their litter pickers and bag the filth up. December seems to have more boxes, cans, food wrappers etc...party time as a month of festivities. Nevertheless in the cold, wind or the dark the magic litter pickers are at work in different boroughs. Xmas delight or bitter end 2025?

They say good things come in threes. How about fours? Four GoodGymers, four kilometres run and four bags of litter collected. Doesn't that sound like much bigger wins?

Alan and Maria from GoodGym Hounslow joined Ealing regulars, Steph and Kash, for the last chance to do a group run in 2025. The route took them from Ealing Broadway to the notorious alleyway between the Holy Family Primary School in West Acton and the A40.

The litter hunt brought a variety of findings: a hula hoop, a lamp, tennis balls, and last year's Christmas tree, complete with presents (empty cans and bottles) underneath. The fantastic four finished off the fruitful litter picking session with an uphill run back - a group run in North Ealing doesn't count without a little hill session!

With 2025 rubbish done and dusted, we're looking forward to the first group run in the New Year, and hoping you'll join us for a woodchipping task in Walpole Park!
