Welcome to GoodGym Bexley!

We're a friendly group that combines exercise with practical help for local community organisations and charities. Every Wednesday evening we get together and head to an organisation to complete a physical task that makes a real difference. Afterwards we often go to a nearby pub or café for some social time together.

To get there we offer an optional group run. Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, everyone is welcome. We'll run at a pace that keeps the group together, and no one is ever left behind.

Prefer to walk? We can usually offer a group walk too.

🎯The task

We're heading back to Days Lane Primary School this week to finish off what we started last week.

We'll be painting some picket fences in the playground helping to keep them protected from the elements and looking smart for years to come.

If time allows, we'll also be clearing an overgrown patch of ground that's become home to weeds, brambles and nettles. The teachers are particularly keen for us to clear it out, as footballs regularly end up in there and no-one enjoys having to battle through prickly plants to retrieve them!

Gardening gloves 🧤 are strongly recommended. Other equipment and tools will be provided.

Options are available to run between 2km and 5km 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.
