The task will requite a mix of digging, wheelbarrowing and stamping in the gravel to provide a good surface. All tools and instruction will be provided, no experience necessary. If the paths are complete or there is any spare time, we will be helping out with some litter picking and tree felling in the same area.

First timers very welcome, it will be a great task to feel useful, get a good workout, and meet other members.

Meet at the Tap Tavern at 6.45pm for our group run (for all fitness levels) to Petersham Farm. The Tap kindly let us leave our bags in a locked room so if you have anything you would prefer not to run with, please turn up a few minutes early to drop it off.

We will run together to the task, carry out the task and run back again. If you cannot join the run, you are more than welcome to join us at the task location.

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 3km and 6km 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.

Ideal for beginners

Movement, giving back, socialising, organising and spreading positivity. These things make me feel good and GoodGym has them all!
