On a wet and wild Halloween night we set off from The Showroom for Hillsborough jumping puddles, with the rain bouncing off the tarmac!
We didn't let it dampen our spirits though and made it to the fantastic space that is the revamped bowling pavilion to meet with AMAZING ALEX who had done a fantastic job of prepping our task for the evening which was to sort clothes for an upcoming (see photos) jumble sale to help with the cost of living crisis, keep vulnerable people warm and make some money for Age UK in Sheffield. WIN WIN WIN.
We lost count of how many bags were sorted but it was A LOT, so the jumble is well worth a look if your after some garms.
After a group photo, we popped our already wet kit on and headed back out into the dark deluge for round 2. The rain hadn't let up, even flooding the tramlines! Once back, warm showers and hot dinners were definitely priority number one and very well earned.
Until next time, happy running! :)
