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
Have your running shoes seen better days? That's where Jog On come in! They send shoes that still have some more strides in them around the world to those who'll benefit from the remaining rubber. Those that truly are at the end of their life are recycled, keeping them out of landfill.
ā What's the task
Donate your old running shoes to be reused or recycled.
We'll be teaming up with Osterley parkrun, Jog On and We Run Ealing to pack up your old running shoes, ready to be posted off to their new life.
š Where and when š
Meet us near the Osterley parkrun start/finish.

What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
