Placeholder for a task in the allotment/orchard site inside Philips Park next Monday evening (6th July)

We'll be meeting directly at the task inside Philips Park, What3words: ///waving.zebra.radio for 6pm for the session.

For those wanting a short run/light jog, we will either do a loop or two of Philips Park (possibly following some of the parkrun route) or there will be a jog back to the city centre after the task.

Eden Gardens Orchard is a welcoming community garden in the heart of Philips Park. Open to visitors and volunteers, it offers a peaceful green space for relaxation, learning, and connection.

The orchard promotes wellbeing and community, inviting locals to engage with nature through hands on gardening and seasonal activities.

About GoodGym

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Manchester region.

The Run/Walk/Cycle

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 0km and 5km in total

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
