Date and time
18:00 - 19:30Who this task will support
Prince Rupert Court, Guinness PartnershipWe will be running approximately 2 km in total to Prince Rupert Court in Freshbrook and back, to help with a gardening task. The residents have been so impressed with our gardening (and writing) skills over the years they have asked us to return to tidy up the garden area, which needs some TLC following the lockdown. This is one of our regular venues and one of our most loved! This time we have been asked to tidy up the raised allotment and the hedge that needs a little weeding. The residents, who are 55+ years and have physical disabilities, are unable to manage the garden as it is. Our job is to make it easier for them to spend time in the garden!
We will be meeting at 6pm just outside West Swindon Library*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops!
Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving West Swindon Library just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving West Swindon Library at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.
*Please look out for our Run Leader, Emma who will meet you all outside West Swindon Library.
Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on ๐

New to GoodGym?
This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
2km total distance
Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.
This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
