Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

We'll be helping ARC Collective to clear their green overgrowth, in order to create more space for making beds to grow food, and to make the towpath garden more accessible for community events.

Please bring gloves.

Running there with us? We'll be running slowly there from Arsenal Community Hub, it's about 3km each way. Meet us at Arsenal for warm ups at 6.45pm. There is space to change and leave your bag if needed.

Meeting us there? Be at The ARC, 98b St Paul Street, Islington, N17DF for 7.15pm. It's at the bottom of Packington Street, just around the corner from the local Co-op

About ARC: ARC Collective is Islington’s home of communal wellness. They are a not-for-profit community space shaped by the local neighbourhood and built by local people, for the benefit of all. Designed with generosity at its core, ARC brings people together, offering connection and a chance to belong, right here on your doorstep.

Working in collaboration with Islington Parks Service, they are the proud custodians of 4 public gardens. These gardens are havens for residents and wildlife alike, significantly increasing biodiversity. They also use these gardens as areas to train local people in Urban permaculture and horticulture.

Hi all,

I'm so sorry for the last minute notice, but Amy from ARC has just had to cancel the session tonight. We're rescheduling for a few weeks time.

I hope you're able to make the most of your newly free evening - be it through going for a walk or run, or just enjoying a Monday night in.

See you next week hopefully!
