The team from Goodgym Islington took over the backroom of The Horatia N4 pub on Holloway Road to host a running kit swap event. The concept was conceived by The Green Runners, Rerun, Kitsquad and Preloved Sports, all amazing organisations formed to keep under-used sportswear out of landfill and in use for those who need it. We had a vast array for running shoes for road, trail, track and hiking available to try out (great for those who are looking for a spare pair for mucky Goodgym sessions, or looking to try a new discipline in running without paying a premium as a first timer). Plenty of sports wear was also available, from lightweight summer apparel to substantial base layers and coats for winter time. Thank you to all who participated, donated and took the time to try out some different kit!

Almost all of the donated and leftover kit will be shared equally with Preloved Sports and Kitsquad, unless offered to local runners and active people!
