Who this task will support
31st / 9th Scout Group
Helping out with basic maintenance in the scout hall

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 the 31st/9th Scout Group (567 Foxhall Road, IP3 8LX) where we'll be grabbing the paintbrush to give the inside hall a fresh lick of paint ๐ŸŽจ

What distance? The run itself will be roughly 1.4 miles (2.3km) to the hut and the same back - totalling roughly 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 ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

Where are we meeting? We will meet at the University of Suffolk, Waterfront building at 6.45pm - in the foyer as you come through the doors, you won't miss us! There is access to toilets here too ๐Ÿ“ If you would like to meet at the task instead, then please meet us at the scout hut (address above) at roughly 7.10pm.

Please wear high vis / head or body torches as it will be dark and we want to be seen!

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.

Options are available to run between 5km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
