10 amazing GoodGymers rounded off 2017 in style by running 7k to spread some Christmas Cheer giving away 60 mince pies to Westminsters homeless.

On the last run of 2017 Westminster showed our spirit by spreading some Christmas cheer! After our task had to be cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of volunteers at the homeless Charity we wanted to do something to help! With a big thank you to Clare for the mince pie contribution we bagged up the Christmas treats at New Balance before hitting the streets!

Setting off towards Charing Cross we found a hive of activity with many groups out helping those in need with food and clothing to keep them warm and feed in this testing time of year! After giving away just over half of our stash we headed off dropping off treats as we went to those who were a bit more isolated and seemed really touched by the gesture! With plenty of steps, chat and smiles going on we made one last stop in Victoria, providing a nice surprise for a couple of people when they wake up before heading back to base! Rhys bossing it leading us back home and then dropping the hammer on Oxford street with some serious pace! Big shout out to Jaita on her first GoodGym Run and her longest ever run to boot!

Thank you all for a great 2017 and with today in mind maybe a great idea for making 2018 even better!!

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Look forward to seeing you all again on the 3rd of January!

Smooth Running
