We will be running approximately 4km in total; to Swindon's Steam Museum and back, to help with some clearing, weeding and litter picking in the traverser. Steam, Museum of the Great Western Railway is housed in a restored grade II railway building in the heart of the former Swindon Railway Works. The traverser, situated outside the museum, has become untidy and in need of our help to tidy up this historical part of Swindon. It's been nearly a year since our last visit so there is lots to be done so please do come and join us if you are free!

We will be meeting at 6pm just outside Sainsbury's Bridgemead*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops! After the task, we may be able to fit in a short exercise session before heading back to Sainsbury's.

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving Sainsbury's just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving Sainsbury's at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.

*Please look out for our Run Leader, Emma who will meet you all outside the front door at Sainsbury's.

Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on 😊

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

4km total distance

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
