July parkrun meet-up at Seaford Beach

Parkrun is a free, timed, weekly 5km run, jog or walk and in Brighton we have five fantastic courses to choose from. Each month we meet up at a different local parkrun course - joining each other along the route and going for a coffee / breakfast afterwards.

In July we will be going a little further afield and meeting at Seaford parkrun, and heading to a nearby cafe for post run coffees and brunch/snacks. Venue TBC. If the weather is fair then a sea dip may be on the menu too!

If travelling by train, the 08:06 service from Brighton to Bishopstone will get you there on time. If you'd like to meet up at the station, Pippa will be waiting near the FCB coffee stand from 07:50.

GoodGym loves parkruns!

It possibly goes without saying, but parkrun really isn’t about running at all - despite it’s name - it’s really about community cohesion, wellbeing and the coming together of the community. Pretty much like Good-Gym!

Make sure you get there for the run briefing just before 9am. Just don't forget to sign up here, wear your GoodGym T-shirt and post your photos on our whatsapp group!

New to parkrun?

Parkruns are free, weekly, community events all around the world. If you have never run a parkrun before, they are a great way to get into running in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Remember, it's FREE, but you can register to keep a profile (number of parkruns you do, times, etc.). Remember to bring your parkrun barcode to get scanned at the end of the 5k and receive your time.

What to look out for

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in any GoodGym session. Looking out for each other! GoodGym is a community and it's important we look out for each other's safety as well as our own.

Parkruns are events not organised by GoodGym and GoodGym takes no responsibility for your participation in the event. But, as responsible GoodGym-er we follow GoodGym Code of Conduct at our meet ups at any local parkrun.

REMEMBER to associate you parkrun profile to the group/club: GoodGym-Brighton and to share your photos on our whatsapp group :-)

Happy parkrun-ing with GoodGym!
