Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

Definition of PLOGGING

We'll meet in St Peter's Square outside Manchester Central Library, What3words///think.forum.votes and run/plog or walk from there. Depending on numbers, we can cover a couple of different areas such as:

  • Ardwick Green or near the O2 Apollo
  • Greek Street under the overpass
  • Hulme Park and surroundings

I have council-provided bags, litter pickers, and a contact for arranging pick up of any litter we collect. I have a couple of pairs of gardening gloves, but if you have some, please do bring them along.

If you know of litter grot-spots within a short run/walk from St Peter's Square, let us know!

Last time, we targeted an area in Hulme with lots of fly-tipping.

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.

Our run will begin at ~ 6:20pm from St Peter's Square.

Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.
