Exciting news! One of our most favourite Christmas tasks is back! πŸŽ„ This is our 4th year helping with the Christmas Toy Appeal 🐻 at the Gateway Church in Westlea, where we will be choosing gifts 🎁 for families 'in need' in Swindon.

Because of COVID-19 🦠 places are limited so please sign up now to avoid disappointment. Please note that four additional spaces are available at the slightly earlier time of 5-7pm via a Community Mission. Check it out here!

Please note that your contact details (full name and email address) will be shared with the Gateway Church for Test and Trace purposes. It is also a requirement to wear a face mask during this task unless exempt so please bring one with you that evening. Thank you 😷

We will be meeting at 6:45pm just outside West Swindon Library*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops!

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving West Swindon Library just after 6:45pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving West Swindon Library at around 6:50pm (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, Emma who will meet you all outside West Swindon Library.

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 😊

Sign up by 12:00pm on Monday 13th December so we can let Emma know who to expect.

Walkable

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

2km total distance

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
