Who this task will support
Murrayside Community Centre
Murrayside is a busy, welcoming community centre in the heart of south-east Ipswich. They offer low-cost and free activities for all ages - from sports and fitness to woodworking, youth clubs, social groups, cooking classes and more. People come here to get active, learn new skills, meet others, build confidence or just enjoy a friendly chat over coffee.

You're invited. Come along and join us at Ipswich GoodGym! Want to do something useful with your exercise? GoodGym is no ordinary gym. We're a group of people who get fit by doing good - helping out local charities and community groups with physical jobs like shifting compost and planting trees.

What are we doing? We will be heading to Murrayside Community Centre (Nacton Road, IP3 9JL) to assist with some small-scale help for the centre, such as painting / gardening / day-to-day maintenance.

What distance? The run itself will be roughly 1.3 miles (slightly uphill) to the centre and a slightly different route back of roughly 1.5 miles (downhill!) - totalling 2.8 miles (4.5km). Everyone is welcome at any pace and any ability, the run will be back-marked so no one is ever left behind 👟

Where are we meeting? We will meet outside of the University of Suffolk, Waterfront building at 6.45pm. There is access to toilets inside here too 📍 If you would like to meet at the task instead, then please meet us at the community centre (address above) at roughly 7pm.

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.
