Welcome to GoodGym York 🙌

🏃‍♀️🏃We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT🌳 We’ll be heading to Clarence Garden near York Hospital to rake the wildflower patch that we'd previously helped create

THE TASK ⚠️ There are 2 trenches to be dug Trench 1 will need to be 20 metres long and 45 cm deep (18in) Trench will need to be 30 metres in total and the same depth. Please bring gardening gloves . It'll also be dark so bring a head torch.

WHERE WE MEET 🎒 We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we're out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.

🚲There is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park and covered cycle parking to the left. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US 👏GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. This task is too far for a walking group but feel free to meet us there. We’ll be at Glen Allotments, opposite Tang Hall Primary School on Sixth Avenue, Heworth York

👍We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL 🍻We often head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat

Options are available to run between 5km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
