Welcome to GoodGym York 🙌

🏃‍♀️🏃We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT'S TASK🌳

Heworth Without Parish Council's would like us to move grass cutting from the Wildflower Meadow to their Jubilee Wood,

Meet at Heworth community centre if meeting us there. Please bring gloves and a head torch.

We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them.

WHERE WE MEET 🎒

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martin’s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables in their office, which is secure. We then head along to the end of the lane (turn right with the pub behind you), where there is space for our warm up.

🚲There is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point. Please be vigilant when locking up bikes and use a good lock. We recently had one stolen from the end of Martin’s lane.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US 👏

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners and walkers of all abilities. Tonight there will be both a running and walking group.

👍We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL 🍻

We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?

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.
