Important Information

This session will begin at 6.15 pm from the Arsenal Community Hub

The plan is to meet up at the Arsenal Community Hub on Benwell Road, and after a short warm up, health and safety briefing and a warm welcome, we will run together to Elizabeth House Food Hub.

Elizabeth House Food Hub have been valued collaborators with Goodgym Islington for years- they were even our group run start location after lockdown!

The team have been operating a busy "supermarket style" food bank collection service- hugely popular and successful in the local area. Over major holidays (Summer, Christmas, half term), families and isolated people are less likely to be able find free time to visit the food bank hub.

This is where Goodgym volunteers come to help out! We will walk to the food bank, and then take the time to deliver food bank parcels to the immediate community. If we have time, we will also help with closing down the kitchen after a busy day.

Task Location:

Elizabeth House Food Hub, 2 Hurlock St, London N5 1ED

If you are not planning on running with us, our arrival time at Elizabeth House Food Hub will be 6.30pm.

Things to Note

EARLIER START TIME THAN USUAL!

After our session, we will aim to arrive back at the Arsenal Community Hub for 8.15pm at the latest

We are delighted to announce that we now have a bag drop and bathroom facilities for our group runs. Thank you to Arsenal Community Hub for accomodating us!

Please allow enough time to drop bags, as we will be running at 6.20pm sharp!

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.
