Last night, 7 GoodGym Leeds members headed over to the docks to help out with the Leeds Dock relays organised by RunLeeds. The event was great fun and saw teams of 4 people complete as many laps of a 0.9mile loop course as they could in an hour. The winning team completed 14 laps, which was amazing!

Liam, Rob, Damu, Suzie, Alice, Robert and Gemma supported at the event by marshaling and cheering on all the runners on the course.

All the GoodGym members did a great job and were thanked by the organisers for their support. Next year, we may also have to send a team over to the relays to see how we can do against all the other clubs in the city!

A shout out goes to Robert for overcoming a puncture to make it to his first community mission!

Let me begin...

9 runners made their way through a very soggy Leeds evening to the LS14 Trust in Seacroft to pack summer holiday activity packs for local school children. We welcomed new member Joyce, who deserves a huge cheer for coming out in the rain.

After splitting up into smaller groups spread out over 3 floors, each team began packing different things into each of the bags.

The downstairs team started by packing boxes of finished bags into a van, and then added the finishing touches to more bags before boxing them up. We'd quickly built ourselves an impressive fort, before realising that we needed to get to things behind the tower of full boxes...

We packed a few hundred packs into boxes and had almost as much fun as the kids will have using them! Well done for another great task everyone.
