!!UPDATE!!

To allow for football watching on Wednesday, we're shifting the gathering back slightly from to 7pm - 9pm with speeches at 7.30.

If you're watching the football, we recommend going to the Calthorpe Arms on the same road as the community garden.

Wednesday 1st of July, 7-9pm Calthorpe Community Garden 258-274 Gray's Inn Rd London WC1X 8LH

In 2009 a man called Ivo started running to visit an older neighbour called Terry. Ivo brought over a newspaper, and they chatted about clay pipes, boxing, nightclubs and travelling the world.

Ivo had an idea...why don't I get other people doing this?

Fast forward 17 years and a whole load of you have. Well over 27,000 people, completing over 425,000 good deeds across England and Wales.

As you might have heard Ivo is stepping down as GoodGym's CEO and so we're having a party to come together and celebrate all we've achieved.

Here are the details:

When: Wednesday 1st July

Where: Calthorpe Community Garden, 258-274 Gray's Inn Rd, London WC1X 8LH

Time: 7:00 - 9.00pm

There will also be a run and a task from 5pm on the same day, re-tracing the steps of the first ever GoodGym group run.
Sign up to the run here.
