Who this task will support
Surfers Against Sewage
We’re a community dedicated to the protection of oceans, waves, beaches and wildlife. We fight long and hard to protect what we love and we won’t stop until it’s completely clean, safe and protected for everyone, forever.

We'll be joining Surfers Against Sewage's "Million Mile Clean" campaign, joining 1,000s of people taking a stand against plastic pollution. They've donated lots of litter picking kit for us to use, and we'll be running a "plogging" session around Finsbury Park - jogging and litter picking as we go. We'll also be taking an audit of brands that we see in the litter to feed into the SAS citizen science report. 🤓.

Running there with us? We'll be running slowly there from Arsenal Community Hub, it's about 3km each way. Meet us at Arsenal for warm ups at 6.45pm. There is space to change and leave your bag if needed.

Meeting us there? Meet us at 7.15pm inside the park gates off Severn Sisters Road (west end of the park): https://what3words.com/starts.logic.normal

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.

Options are available to run between 4km 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.
