The moment has arrived! We got so big that we had to split into two 😱 GoodGym Bromley will move its axis eastwards, and we're rebranding as GoodGym Crystal Palace 🗼 No need to worry about poaching, though - you'll be seeing a lot of overlap between the two groups.

It might be a new name, but the team and task are familiar 😊 For this Group Run we were headed back to Dorset Road Allotments for round 6 of breaking up an old and overgrown chicken coop so that the land could be added to the communal space used for events and gatherings.

We first met at the Bridge House, where this week's question was "What's your favourite month?", spurred by Stephen's relief that the sunny months were on the way. We had March, June, November and more, all for a variety of reasons - nice!

Without further ado, we got our run on as Dorset Road is a huge 3km run from the Bridge House 🏃 We scrambled to the Allotments to meet Jeannette, who helps organise the upkeep of the space.

When we last came here in 2024 we did a lot of work to snip all the weeds to stop them growing, and this had paid off in in spades as this time as everything was dead and brittle - you could almost say fried - so it was easy to remove. We also managed to extract a good amount of the wood structure and wire roof covering. You could really see the impact GoodGym had made!

Awesome job, and I think everyone had loads of fun. Looking forward to coming back 🎉
