About ARC: ARC Collective is Islington’s home of communal wellness. They are a not-for-profit community space shaped by the local neighbourhood and built by local people, for the benefit of all. Designed with generosity at its core, ARC brings people together, offering connection and a chance to belong, right here on your doorstep.
Working in collaboration with Islington Parks Service, they are the proud custodians of 4 public gardens. These gardens are havens for residents and wildlife alike, significantly increasing biodiversity. They also use these gardens as areas to train local people in Urban permaculture and horticulture.

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 or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
