Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

The Windsor Horse Rangers is a charity, which aims to give children access to ponies and to educate them about all aspects of riding and horse care. The charity has reached out to GoodGym for help sprucing up the outside of their classrooms with a lick of paint. This is a big task so get your friends to sign up too!

Our plan for the evening is to meet at Holyport Memorial Hall for a a quick warm up and briefing. We will then run or walk 3km to the Windsor Horse Rangers site on Forest Green Road. Some of the route is on quiet, rural trails, but there is a short stretch on the road where we will need to go single file and be aware of traffic. It is up to you whether you run or walk. All paces are welcome and we will always have a back marker to make sure no one is left on their own.

When we reach our destination we will get stuck into our task painting the outside of one of the classrooms. If you're anything like Amy (or working near Amy) you're likely to come away with paint on your clothes so don't wear anything too precious! There will be the opportunity to work up a ladder. Please take care and only do this if you feel it is safe.

Around 8pm we will head back to our start location on foot. Please do bring a head torch or run light so we can be seen on the road as the sun goes down.

We will finish with a few strength exercises, some lovely stretches and a brainstorm to see who can come up with the best horse puns for the run report...

Hi everyone, as per my previous email I’m cancelling due to the task owner not being able to get the required paint. Hope to see some of you on Wednesday evening to celebrate Juli’s 50 good deeds at the Thames Hospice or on Thursday evening at Ockwells instead.
