GG Manchester Christmas social run

Social run promoting an active lifestyle and enhanced wellbeing


Location
St Peter's Square
Manchester
M1 5AN
Date and time
18:15 - 20:00
Monday, 22nd of December 2025

Social run meeting at St Peter's Square near the big lit-up Santa to run/jog along the Christmas lights in Central Manchester.

Estimated around 5-6 km at a leisurely pace (depending on numbers, we can split into groups).

Likely to go to the markets or a pub in the city centre for a non-running social afterwards, aiming for either Sandbar or the Christmas markets for around 19:00. If you wish to meet us straight there, sign up and comment below or message via the WhatsApp community.

Christmas attire encouraged but not a requirement. Route will be well lit and flat.

About GoodGym

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Manchester region.

The Run/Walk/Cycle

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.

Walkable

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

Options are available to run between 3km and 6km in total

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.
