Welcome to WWF x GoodGymโ€™s Workout for Nature. From 7th April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!

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 Alberta Estate Communal Gardens, which is a 4.4k run each way to help Freddie move compost and top soil around the beds.

Come along for the run or you can also meet us at the task: the Fruit Commons tool shed on Berryfield Road, London, SE17 3QE at 19:15 (what3words location items.single.using)

New to GoodGym Southwark?

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. Alternatively, meet us at the task: the Fruit Commons tool shed on Berryfield Road, London, SE17 3QE (what3words location items.single.using) at 19:15.

โŒš 18:30-18:45 (leaving at 18:45 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 8.8k in total (4.4k each way). We will spend 35-40 minutes doing the tasks mentioned above (or as much as we can) before running back.

Advisable: Bring ๐Ÿงค gardening gloves.

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 Old Spike Roastery, and Old Spike Roastery and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
