It's Tuesday so it's a group run (and walk), meeting in (and returning to) Queen Square and leaving there at 6.30 - gloves are normally needed, plus a head/chest/clip torch as it’s sooo dark now

We’re tidying up in or messing up at the Children’s Scrapstore which is in St Jude’s about 1.5 miles from Queens Square so the walkers will need to set off sharpish - please comment below if you’re walking 🙂

It’s someone new alongside Cara who knows us, and she’s warned him we’re “a bit of a force to be reckoned with in terms of productivity” so we’ve a reputation to maintain!

Changing facilities, lockers and loos are available at Workout Harbourside - bring your own padlock or inventive personal prized possession to swap for one of theirs if you want to lock your, er, locker. Otherwise it’s just an er. *And we now have permission to meet up in Workout before heading out just before leaving, so you’ve an incentive to arrive by 6.30 and not be cold!

We pop into ClubHaus at Workout for a drink after the run/walk - anything from a pot of tea to a pint of something local to a glass of water - so we can talk even more!

I’ll probably be a one way walk.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total

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.
