This week we swapped running for sorting, helping give old running shoes a second lease of life through JogOn.

A huge shout-out to Katie, who arrived towing a wheeled suitcase packed with running shoe donations from her colleagues. Her impressive haul helped us reach a grand total of 44 pairs of running shoes, all matched, boxed and ready for their next chapter.

Those 44 pairs have been saved from landfill and will now be sent to JogOn, who redistribute unwanted running shoes around the world so they can continue to be used.

And if each pair has already covered around 500 miles, that's an astonishing 22,000 miles of running between them, roughly the distance from Oxford to Sydney, with plenty left in the tank.

A simple task, a great team effort, and a small step towards a more sustainable running community.
