Tonight we have a new task - we're off to York Gardens Children's Centre, Lavender Road, SW11 2UG. The team that manages the area around the centre have said that it would make a significant difference for us to support with tidying and maintaining the outdoor garden spaces.

We will be sweeping and weeding the garden areas. Gardening tools and waste bags will be available on site, but please bring gardening gloves if you have them. This is a task that will make a big difference at an important community resource - we want to make it is beautiful and clean as possible for the children that use the centre.

We will be doing asocial run down to site, but feel free to meet us there at 18:45. There is a back marker so nobody is ever left behind. There is nowhere to store bags but there are places to change and use the loo at our start location. We will squeeze in a fitness session too! Everybody welcome always.

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.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Battersea Arts Centre, and Battersea Arts Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
