About this session

Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!

We're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area.

The Run

We will be running from the Old Royal Naval College which is only about 1km each way. It is a walkable distance so you are welcome to join us at whatever pace - we never ever leave anyone behind! We can do a little longer river run if it takes our fancy.

The Task

We'll head over to Island Gardens and Millwall Park where there's sure to be lots of litter we can clear up :)

Where & When

We meet at 6.45pm for a 7 o'clock start at the Old Royal Naval College between the Queen Mary and Queen Anne buildings. The session will be about 90 minutes in total so we should be all wrapped up by 8.30pm.

What to bring

Please bring some gloves and a headtorch may be useful if you have one. If you happen to have a litter pick that will come in handy!

What time will you leave the Naval college after the warm up please? Wondering if I can meet you after my gym class at the far end of the tunnel but it might be a bit of a fools errand trying to locate you 😂
