17 of Hackney’s finest GoodGymers ran 5k to Hackney Downs to Edge, Mulch and sweep to victory.

With the sun setting on London Town the Hackney crew met up with energy and enthusiasm.

Darting the 2k over to Hackney Downs to meet Park Ranger Bruce who had our tasks ready and waiting.

The main task of the evening to to give the pathways around the adventure playground a tidy up by recutting the edging of the path like a nice hair cut.

With the majority of the group cutting in and edging off the path we also had to bed down a few flower beds for the winter but piling in 6 inches of mulch to help lock in the warmth and keep the winter weather away from the roots.

With 3 piles of mulch down we channeled our efforts into the edging even had enough time to tidy up the over spilling sand along the edge of the playground. 300 metres of pathways perfectly (well kind of) edged of we had enough time for the Anna K 1 kilometre timed up. For the first time including the route creator Anna!!

A scintillating turn of speed from everyone around the course had our hearts racing endorphins jumping!!

Heading back to the Bakehouse with quiz questions swirling about time zones and daylight savings. Where we stretched out and headed off into the night!

See you next week for another fun filled Tuesday!!

Smooth Running
