Date and time
18:45 - 20:30Welcome to GoodGym Lewisham!
We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Monday evening to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations in our area.
The Task:
I'm excited for our task this week, we're heading to Marsha Phoenix Trust near Hilly Fields to continue the amazing work we've been doing in the garden on our regular monthly community mission.
There's going to be lots of tasks to get stuck into and Sue (resident Marsha Phoenix gardener, and all round fantastic gardener) will be on hand to teach us what's a weed and guide us in the tasks that need doing.
This week it's a run of around 4km-5km in total.
The Run/walk:
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and it is sometimes possible to walk to the task if you would prefer. 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.
The Essentials:
We meet at Glass Mill Leisure Centre at 6.45pm, so a short walk from Lewisham Station. We have access to lockers and changing facilities, so you could easily drop in on your way home (bring a pound coin or padlock if you want to use the lockers). Look out for the red t-shirts, we're very friendly! Every so often we head out after our run for some food and drink, a chance to get to know each other a bit better.
See you soon!
