Smithdown in Bloom

The Task

Smithdown in Bloom are working with local residents and businesses to place tubs and planters along Smithdown Road and the surrounding streets, to make the area greener, brighter and more attractive for all.

The task will be a mix of:topping up the planters we did before with more soil, and potentially repositioning the plants accordingly; watering if needed; and litter picking around the planters.

We will be meeting the task owners at the central reservation at the corner of Ullet Road and Smithdown and then heading off to different planters locally to add some colour. Those not wanting to join the group run can meet us directly there. https://w3w.co/closer.door.took

Bring your own gloves, and we'll want to bring a couple of our litter pickers too.

The Run

Runners will be meeting at the Suitcases on Hope Street for a 6:30pm warm up and a run to the task. https://w3w.co/normal.shirt.builds

If you are not running you can meet at the task location for 6:55pm ready for us all to start the task together.

Myth Busters - You have to be super fit to join GoodGym and you have to be a runner

This couldn’t be further from the truth! We aim to make sure there is a way to get involved no matter what your fitness level or your goals. Our GoodGym team is full of people of all fitness levels, from those of us just getting off the couch and out the door wanting a little bit of moving around, all the way to those regularly running and cycling. We have regular longer run opportunities and advice from our qualified run leaders for those wanting more of a challenge, or a more gentle approach for anyone who will simply enjoy being involved in the tasks. Our core sessions usually have about half the team running and half just doing the task, and we want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome, so come and get involved! But do get in touch if you have any questions.
