JOIN US FOR THE FIRST EVER GOODGYM ELEPHANT & CASTLE SESSION

We'll be meeting at 6:30 at the Castle Centre Gym by Elephant & Castle tube. From there, we'll run a nice quiet 2km route to Nursery Row Park (all paces welcome!) where we'll be helping the Friends of Nursery Row with some gardening to help make the park an enticing local place for residents to enjoy.

We'll down tools at about 8pm and jog back to the Castle Centre.

For the run - we'll have a back marker, so all paces completely welcome. GoodGym welcomes runners of all abilities and we never leave anyone behind.

If you prefer to meet us at the task you're very welcome to do so. We'd expect to arrive at approximately 7pm.

If you happen to have gardening gloves, do bring them! And no worries if not.

The Friends of Nursery Row Park are local residents and workers who initially came together in 2007 to defend the park from the threat of development. The park is approximately 1.76 hectares of public green space near the historic East Street and includes 2 playground areas, a wildlife meadow and a community orchard.

4km total distance

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.

Ideal for beginners
