'Extending Trainer Life for a Million more miles'
Pair Ups follows up from the the pilot initiative of a local social enterprise ReRun to keep running clothes out of landfill and change consumer behaviour around fast fashion. Pair Ups developed a way to enable runners to extend the life of their favourite trainers and they hold trainer repair workshops at events, sometimes giving away repaired trainers that were donated.11 GoodGymers have supported PairUP with 1 task.

Mince Pies, and pre-loved Green Gifts!
Sunday 8th December
Written by STEFANIA ROSSO (she/her)
The MincePie10 Miles run is really what is all talked about; a lovely trail run organised by the Seaford Striders in full Christmas spirit. Not surprisingly it grabbed the interest of a Good bunch of Brighton GoodGym-ers, despite the wet and muddy conditions of the trail course on the day. We had a great fun, really.
We also joint efforts with The Green Runners on a mission to keep running without the footprint 👣 🌍. A volunteer-led group of passionate runners accelerating the Race to Change! 💚 So, Richard and I helped at the PairsUP Swap Clothes's stand to facilitate the relocation of pre-loved running clothes and repaired trainers.
A Good day, I enjoyed the run and left with a few pre-loved garments as a Green Chrimbo Gift! Thank Liam for organising our Sunday roast lunch.
The time to act is NOW 🌍💚
