Who this task will support
Haydon Wick Parish Council
The council is concerned with the overall economic, cultural and physical well-being of the community it serves.


We will be running approximately 1km in total to help with a litter picking task in and around Seven Fields Nature Reserve as well as the surrounding streets. We will be meeting with the wonderful Phil Jefferies who likes to keep the area nice and tidy ready for parkrunners on a Saturday morning. Litter picking equipment is being provided by Haydon Wick Parish Council; just don't forget your gloves, hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes and a face covering should you need one.

It will be getting dark at around 6pm that evening, so please bring a head or body torch if you have one; autumn is officially here!

We will be meeting at 6pm just outside the Customer Service Hub at the Orbital Shopping Park*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops! After the task, we may be able to fit in a short exercise session before heading back to the Orbital.

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving the Orbital just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving the Orbital at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.

*Please look out for our Run Leader, Simon who will meet you all outside the Customer Service Hub, near the Bus Station, at the Orbital Shopping Park.

Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on 😊

1km total distance

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.

Ideal for beginners
