It's Wednesday night and we're doing it right...it's also our group run night!

In this group run, we will be running from Old Spike Peckham to Old Alleynian Rugby Club (OA) to assist Ian (task owner) with trimming back the overgrowth along the South Circular.

Old Alleynian Rugby Club is a nine acre site and a community run club that need our help maintaining the site - gardening along the South Circular road by trimming back the bushes and weeding the path.

Not to worry, it can be daunting coming to your first group run, but we are so welcoming whether you're just starting out as a runner or have been running for years. We welcome all!

Here's the important information - the "Where, When and What":

๐Ÿ“ We meet at Old Spike Peckham between 18:30-18:45. You can also meet us at the task: Old Alleynians Rugby Club, Dulwich Common, London, SE21 7HA at 19:15.

โŒš 18:30 (leaving at 18:45). If meeting at task, be there for 19:15. We will be back in Peckham by 20:30 (latest).

โœ… There will be access to Old Spike Peckham, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ After a quick warm-up, we run together as a group. If there are loads of us, there will be a back marker to ensure no one is left behind. On this run, we will be running 3k each way. Our task will take up to 45 minutes before running back to Old Spike Peckham by 20:30.

Advisable: Bring a headtorch ๐Ÿ”ฆ as it's getting dark and your gardening gloves ๐Ÿงค for the task

Options are available to run between 3km and 6km 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.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets.

Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Old Spike Roastery, and Old Spike Roastery and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
