Bucket List
18 GoodGymers made their way 7.0km to help their local community in Westminster.

18 GoodGymers ran a strong 7k to Little Venice to help the Canal & River trust keep the waterways clear if contaminants by picking up 25 buckets of rubbish.
Amazing to have 5 GoodGym first timers along for the run!! Hope you all enjoyed your 90 Minutes of GoodGyming action and will be back for more next week for our Visit to St Andrews youth club!
Quick reminder for our special Treat no Trick Halloween group run on the 30th where we will bring along treats for Westminster’s homeless community and hand them out as we run around town. Sign up here.
On our longest run we do we managed to nail a top early rhythm clipping along the bright streets of Central London working our way North West to Little Venice and the Canal & River trust head office.
Grabbing our grabbers and locating a bucket each we headed West right the way out to the borough boarder to pick up as much stuff that shouldn’t be there as possible!
Filling our buckets with rubbish from the canal, pathway, park and from under a bridge or two and around benches we made a huge impact for the Waterways and everything the lives in and around it! Tipping the rubbish out in the bins before sanitising our hands and bursting back down the road heading back to base with a load of steps and distance in our legs!!
A top workout had by all before a relaxed gentle stretch out and we were away!
Thanks for such a fun session, see you all Again very soon!
