Getting there

For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!

    About this session

    Runner's Jumble and Kit Swap at The Horatia

    Do you have sports kit that doesn't get used as much as it could?

    Or would you prefer to keep your lovely nice running shoes ready for race day, and have a spare pair for Goodgym tasks?

    Simon from Goodgym Islington will be hosting an evening for swapping or donating your used running kit for those who need it.

    All items can be swapped with participants and sign ups, and anything left over can be taken home or offered to Preloved Sports, an organisation dedicated to keeping sports kit out of landfill.

    We prefer that the kit is in good condition where possible, and must be clean and washed.

    Simon will be producing a post about how to effectively clean running shoes to extend their lifespan (especially after muddy Goodgym tasks).

    We are looking for:

    T-shirts, shorts, jumpers, jackets, coats, hats, caps, socks, shoes, boots, bags, vests, belts, tri-suits, cross country and track spikes etc.

    Any unswapped kit can be taken home, or left in store to be donated to:

    Preloved Sports CIC

    Any questions, comment below or message Simon directly.
