Report written by Joel Wiles

12 amazing GoodGymers ran 7k to Little Venice to do a whole load of litter picking to keep the waterways are clear as possible with 18 buckets full of rubbish collected!

A beautiful evening in London Town greeted us for our Canal side adventures! A warm 3.5k run to the North West of the borough allowed us to get our sweat on and into a lovely running rhythm!

With our partnership with the Canals & River Trust we grabbed the plogging kit and headed off West to rid the Little Venice stretch of Canal of as many contaminates as possible.

Unfortunately the summer has brought about the worst in people’s ability to take their rubbish with them and we were picking up loads of rubbish. Buckets filling up fast so with a few bin runs we grabbed all we could in a very productive 45 minutes!!

With all the rubbish binned and hands sanitised we ramped up the pace for strong run back to base!!

Next week we are off to St Andrews youth Club to paint our way to victory!!

See you there

Joel
