Welcome to GoodGym York ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸƒWe'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 TASK๐ŸŒณ

We'll be heading to Scarcroft Allotments, a meet 800m away, to help clear over grown plots so they can be let to new tenants

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

WHERE WE MEET ๐ŸŽ’

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martinโ€™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.

๐ŸšฒThere 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.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐Ÿ‘

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

๐Ÿ‘We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐Ÿป

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?
