We're still working on getting GoodGym setup in Manchester properly. In the meantime we're organising a special one-off run from the Manchester Central Conference centre as part of the big housing conference that's going on. Are you up for coming along?

We'll be doing a 5k run then some digging for a local community garden.

GoodGym combines getting fit and doing good. In 90 mins we'll run to a community garden to prepare some ground for planting and run back again. The session will leave you having had a great workout and having achieved something important for the local community.

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

5km total distance

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.
