It's Wednesday night and we're doing it right...it's also our group run night!

In this group run, we will do a loop of Peckham Rye Park before arriving at the Round Cafe in the middle of Peckham Rye Park to split into mini teams for a friendly competitive "litter pick bingo" South London style! Teams have 30 minutes to find 25 unique items on the list and we times it by the distance the team covers (i.e. if your team only finds 12 items and covers 4k that equals to 48 points, yet if another team found all 25 items but only covered 2k, they would have racked up 50 points)! Teams are deducted a point for every MINUTE they are late.

It might not be the first Wednesday of the month as due to the closing time of Peckham Rye Park in August and the fact we want at least an hour to try out bowls at Peckham Bowls, I have moved this monthly social a week earlier. We will have a rink (or two depending on numbers) to try this sport out. There's also a bar on site and we can order in pizzas. I will calculate the litter pick bingo scores and announce the winning team.

✅ There will be access to Old Spike Peckham, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.

🏃🏃‍♀️ We will be running around 3.5k - 4k around the park. There will be a back marker to ensure no one gets left behind. Running at a medium pace to do the run in 25 minutes.

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 2km and 4km 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.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Old Spike Roastery, and Old Spike Roastery and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
