Meet in the foyer of the leisure centre. Look out for GoodGym members with red t-shirts. 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 Bath Sports and Leisure Centre, and Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.

What to look out for
Age Restriction
GoodGym welcomes anyone aged 18 or over. If you are under 18 then you will be unable to participate in any GoodGym activity
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety when running and at a task.
I did exactly those 5 as a single run a couple of months ago... may need to find a couple more if I try it again 😁
I'm happy to do a trail version for you. I know some great hills 😀
Yes!
Here you go Jer:
1) Weston-Kelston roundhill (on the Cotswold Way) 476ft / 2.2km
2) Fosse Lane (up to bench viewpoint) 423ft / 1.2km
3) Primrose Hill (start footpath, up through orchard to top of Lansdown by cemetary) 436ft / 1.4km
4) Bailbrook lane - top of Solsbury hill 331ft / 1km
5) Bathampton down (footpath near new house, near bend of road) to the golf course 318ft
Ta. Most of them are familiar. I think I'm Strava Local Legend on one of them (not based on speed!!)... :)
The climb out of Woolley up onto the top of Lansdown is one of my favourites.
