Hollo-Way To Go, Goodgym Islington!

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Well done to all of the 8 hardy Goodgym runners (including first timer Andrea- welcome!) who braved the bitterly cold conditions last night, as potential snow appears to be on the horizon for London!

That said, we have to give a thought to the intrepid runners taking on The Spine Race as we speak- a 268 mile traverse across the entirety of the Pennine Way! You can catch up on the action here: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/spinerace24/

Together, our crew engaged in a series of dynamic warm ups on the Emirates Slopes, before running approximately 2km across Holloway Road and onto Camden Road towards St Mungo's Hill drop House, a residence and community network for local homeless and unhoused people.

Unfortunately, the team at St Mungo's seemed to have forgotten about our scheduled visit, and so our original gardening plans were set aside for the time being. However, Area Activator Simon had come prepared with a series of litter pickers, strong gloves and eco refuse bags for this predicament. We split into three groups- group 1 clearing the front entrance of St Mungo's of cigarette butt's, discarded cans, bottles and general litter from the busy road next door. Group 2 travelled a bit further into the neighbourhood to help with returning a rubbish pickup spot back to a clean and tidy state. Group 3 jogged down Camden Road to fix up The Cat and Mouse Children's Library, around the former Holloway Road prison site.

Between us, we successfully collected 10 full bags of litter just along Camden Road in the course of 30 minutes Very impressive and super satisfying work- congratulations all!

Run Tour of Islington Parks #2- ON Running Group Run

Tuesday 16th January, 6pm, ON Running Spitalfields, Brushfield Street

Did you know that the borough of Islington contains 121 listed green spaces according to The Green Classroom?

To celebrate a great year with Goodgym Islington, Area Activator Simon will be planning a social run to visit as many of these as possible within 45 - 60 minutes! We are planning to continue this project over the month of January, to see if we can visit every Islington green space during Goodgym runs.
