Date and time
18:15 - 20:00Welcome to GoodGym York ๐
๐โโ๏ธ๐We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.
TONIGHT ๐ฑWeโre helping the Friends of York Cemetery tonight. Last time we were there, it was really satisfying, weeding the hedgerows and clearing an overgrown area. Hopefully, we'll get more of the same feel good vibes tonight ๐ค
THE TASK ๐งค We've been warned that there could be nettles and/or brambles so definitely don't forget your gardening gloves.
WHERE WE MEET ๐ 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.
๐ท If you would like still to wear a face mask when entering the building to drop bags off, that's fine.
๐ฒThere is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park is available behind the nursery block, to the left as you approach front of the Centre. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.
RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and if the task is close enough we have a walking group too.
๐We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.
POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐ปWe normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat. Please join us!
