Sunday morning of Love Trails 2025 saw Goodgym again team up with The Green Runners and Trash Free Trails to run to Whiteford Sands for a litter pick.

A breeze in the air was taking the edge off the heat, and five goodgymers were joined by 23 others to run 6km to Whiteford Sands for another seemingly beach clean.

With another three prizes provided for the best finds of the day, the group split into pairs to tackle another seemingly clean beach. After a 40 minute search to group gathered together to tally up the items of litter collected (1,503) and vote on the top 3 finds (1st - BB gun and plamobile man, 2nd - loafers, 3rd - goal posts).

With 10 full sacks of rubbish collected from what was at first glance a clean beach, the Goodgym run showcased the power of using your run for social good and the impact less than an hours volunteering can have en-masse.

Despite following his social media, attending his talk, and having tracked his Cape Town to London journey, run leader Nathan managed to miss that runner and activist Deo Kato had joined the run and chosen to spend some of his time off stage at the festival to join a Goodgym beach clean.
