Running into the sunset, 10 runners ran 5km to Oldfield Park Baptist Church to clean toys for the toddler group while the children are away for half term!

As usual we started our run at the leisure centre, noticing how sadly, head torch and hi-vis season has finally come after our fantastic summer! Another new runner joined us this week!

Welcome to Esme!

After a steady run out to Oldfield Park, with a stop on route to admire the amazing sunset over our beautiful city, we met Mark, the church pastor, who was ready and waiting with the toys for us to clean. What is usually several hours work for Mark and his team takes our GoodGym runners around 40 minutes, so he is always very glad to see us!

Kiran, Cassie, Tim, Dan and Joe started in the main hall wiping down larger toys including a mini-kitchen, bikes, trains and even a fantastic toy castle (masterfully assembled by Dan). With Sam joining us at the task, the group managed to get all the toys cleaned and put back in the boxes before we left.

Esme, Allie and Chris were in the kitchen putting smaller items such as building blocks and plastic food into the dishwasher. These then had to be removed, dried and put back into the boxes. Despite the dishwasher creating a rather steamy, sauna-like environment, the team pushed on and managed to get everything cleaned!

Thanks to Kiran for back-marking tonight and apologies for butchering Kiran's pun!

Happy Birthday to us!
