REMOVING 1M RUNNING SHOES FROM LANDFILL

There are in the region of 18 billion pairs of running shoes sold in the world every year. That’s the equivalent to 2 pairs of running shoes per person on earth. Yet, there are millions who have no shoes and suffer terribly from sole diseases. ‘Jog on Again’ believe some 30+ million pairs of shoes end up in landfill every year and many of these shoes have a lot of life left in them! 

The Club would like to do our bit and help ‘Jog on Again’ get those shoes out to those who need them in over 15 destinations around the world.

So, look in that cupboard, garage, under the bed. They may be old to you, but you can give them another chance with someone else.

There will be a collection box at the track for you to donate old trainers or spikes – no need to clean them up, we’ll take them just as they are!  Of course if anyone in the club feels they could make use of shoes someone else has donated, then feel free to help yourself from the collection box – you are still doing your bit to help save them from landfill. Thank you for your support.

TRACK SPIKES FOR SALE

Members wanting track spikes for their shoes can purchase packets of 12 for £2 from the Club Container Office at Club Training Sessions.
