Group runs
Run with a group to help community projects
We run in groups to local organisations that need our help completing tasks like shovelling earth for community gardens, planting trees or clearing derelict land, and run back all within 90 minutes.
How it works
Join a free group run near you and run to do good with people in your area. Group runs are led by qualified running coaches. New runners and people of all fitness levels are welcome and we never leave anyone behind. Just turn up at the start point or sign up to a run.
1
Run
Meet the group at your area start point, drop your bag and run to a local community org that’s asked for our help.
2
Help
Work hard with the group digging, lifting, scraping and clearing. for a good cause
3
Run
Run back to our start point. The run back will give you a chance to push yourself with some intervals or a fitness session.

Stretch
Looking after you is also important to us. We have a certified trainer who leads the runs and makes sure you reach your goals
New to running?
Many people who don't run, are worried about running or haven't run for ages start running with GoodGym every week on our group runs.
If you can run for 15 minutes without stopping then you're fit enough to join us on a group run - no one gets left behind.
If you're still working up to that you can sign up to help older people on one-off tasks or a regular visit.
