Welcome to GoodGym York ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸƒWe're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city. You can see what else we've got on during the rest of the week here.

TONIGHT ๐ŸŒฑ We did such a good job last time that Bootham Stray allotments would like us back for some more help to clear a derelict plots to make them lettable again.

We also have a shorter option available being led Vicky, painting the fence at Park Grove School.?This is approx 2k each way.

THE TASK โš ๏ธ Please bring your own gloves, although they do have some they can lend us. There may also be midges so long sleeves advisable!

WHERE WE MEET ๐ŸŽ’ We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we're out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.

๐ŸšฒThere is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park and covered cycle parking to the left. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐Ÿ‘GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. The cemetery is quite near so if you would like to opt for the walking option let us know.

๐Ÿ‘We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐ŸปWe normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat.

Options are available to run between 4km and 7km 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.
