Report written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)

Friend of GoodGym and LDN Tube Runner, Claire, is taking on the infamous Comrades Marathon in South Africa. As well as taking on this huge challenge, Claire's taking a bag of pre-loved running shoes with life left in them to donate to local runners from disadvantaged communities. Some of these folk can do 400km/month run-commuting because they can't afford public transport.

And this is where GoodGym comes in! Four of our runners who might possibly have more running shoes than are strictly required hunted through their shoe boxes!

Harvey collected the shoes, making use of old packaging, and met up with Claire for the official handover. Coffee may have been involved.

Claire will now transport our old shoes to the southern hemisphere, where they'll be cleaned up, and make sure they find new owners who'll get many more miles out of them!
